After submitting an application, the IRB Analysts will engage in their review and will assign “Action Items” to sections with questions about answers or require updates or revisions. The study team will receive a notification that an IRB Analyst requires revisions. The research team member can either log directly into the protocol from the link in the notification email or log into Kuali IRB and access the protocol from their Manage Protocols Screen.
