IRB Considers Electronic Application System

The UW  Human Subjects division is working towards a system for electronic submission, review, and tracking of applications.  This system would aim to improve efficiency and increase the quality of applications and reviews.  However,  the process is likely to occur over a series of incremental steps rather than all at once.  While creation of this system remains “on the radar,” the priority for this upcoming year is substantial revision and improvement of the forms.  Input is welcome during their development.
