eIRB Refresh Project

Coming Soon

Over the past year, the Office of Human Subjects Research Protections, with the guidance of the NIH eIRB Steering Committee, has considered alternative eIRB systems to our current system, iRIS by iMedris.

After careful analysis and many discussions, we are pleased to announce that Huron IRB Exchange was selected as our new vendor! The project will officially initiate on September 30, 2021.

We will meet with Huron within the next two weeks to discuss how the project will progress, key activities, and timeline. Members of the NIH research community will be engaged throughout the duration of the project to provide input to help us shape the new system. We will also provide a robust education and training program, to provide needed support to our user community and to ensure all have a strong understanding around how to use the new system.

We appreciate the input and engagement of the NIH Intramural community thus far, and look forward to your continued participation. Please be on the lookout for additional communications in the near future with more information about the project! Announcement: 09/29/2021
