We continue to move forward with evaluating new electronic IRB submission systems. An RFP was issued in March 2021 soliciting proposals, to which 7 vendors responded. Based upon a review by the steering committee, 3 vendors were selected to present their products to the NIH community. We are in the process of evaluating all of the stakeholder feedback and soliciting additional information as needed, and hope to make a final selection no later than the end of August.

I am sure that each and every one of us is more than ready for a summer where we can finally spend some time with loved ones and perhaps even enjoy some travel. May you all have well deserved R&R this summer, and we look forward to seeing you fully restored at the IRB meetings! If you have not yet signed up for meetings this summer, please take a moment to do that now on the website. We still have a number of meetings where we do not have quorum.
