Assign Reviewers

The Assign Reviewers action retrieves active members of the IRB committee selected and displays them for the administrator to make primary/secondary reviewer assignments. For full board review protocols, the Assign Reviewers action becomes available after committee and schedule are selected. For expedited review, exempt protocols and notify IRB (FYI) submissions, the Assign Reviewers becomes available after the committee is selected. The system does not require schedule to be selected prior to making “Assign Reviewers” available for expedited, exempt and FYI submissions.
