Instructions about how to save IRB approval and submission forms from ISU

IRB SUBMISSION FORM:

When you are inside the xForm, there should be a button at the bottom that says “more.” Clicking it should give you the option to create and download a pdf with or without attachments.

In case you do not know how to get to the xForm after it’s approved, here are more specific instructions:

1. Locate the study you want to open from the list of your studies on your dashboard (the screen you see when you log in).
2. Open the study by clicking the blue IRB ID.
3. Once inside the study, locate the event (the continuing review and/or modification you want) and click the link.

·         Events are listed in the fourth table down, after “study,” “study-site,” and “contacts.”

4. Once inside the event, look to the left for a column entitled “Actions.” There should be a link called “xForms” with a number in parentheses behind it. Click that.
5. A new window should open with a link that reads “IRB Application.” This link will open the completed form.
6. At the bottom of the form, you should see a “More” button that will allow you to view the form as a PDF that you should then be able to download and print.

IRB APPROVAL LETTER:

Approval letters are documents generated by IRB Manager at the resolution of each event (e.g., initial application, modification, continuing review). 

The “Attachments” field within every event has two sections:

1.       general “attachments” (containing documents uploaded within the IRB Manager application)

2.       “generated docs” (the approval letter)
