eIRB Refresh Project

Name

After polling the NIH community, we have chosen the name: PROTECT

This will be the name of our new eIRB system.

Testing

If you have an interest if being an end user tester for the eIRB system this spring and summer 2022 please complete the survey below to let us know the best way to engage you in our facilitated user testing of the system. We will do our best to involve as many users and types of roles as possible. We look forward to testing and learning with you, and most importantly getting your thoughts and feedback!

Questions?

For questions on the NIH Huron implementation please contact:
OHSRPeIRBProject@od.nih.gov

After careful analysis and many discussions, in summer of 2021, Huron IRB was selected as our new vendor! The project officially initiated on September 30, 2021, and the new system will “go live” in October of 2022.

Currently, members of the NIH intramural community are actively being engaged to provide input to help us shape the new system. In spring and summer, we will begin testing the new system, and encourage the NIH intramural community to get involved. Please reach out to us if you are interested in being a tester.

Additionally, in summer and fall, a robust education and training program for the new system will be provided 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!
