Addenda and Amendments

Research investigators shall be responsible for submitting for IRB review all amendments, addenda, supplements or other changes to previously approved projects along with a copy of the original protocol when:

  • The research project proposes to involve or to change the involvement of human subjects and the involvement is significantly different from that which was originally approved by the IRB
  • The informed consent document is materially modified from that which was originally approved by the IRB
  • The Principal Investigator wishes to add or change any study personnel
  • Principal Investigators must check with the IRB to determine if modifications are material.
