As an important step toward these objectives, the WKU IRB adoption of IRBNet now brings the Western Kentucky University community a robust set of electronic tools supporting the management, submission, review, and oversight of our research protocols.
Some of IRBNet’s many features include electronic document management, web-based protocol sharing, collaboration, automatic notifications, electronic submissions, reviews, important audit capabilities (including electronic revision histories), electronic signatures, and event tracking.
The WKU IRB and the Office of Compliance has carefully chosen IRBNet not only for the important capabilities that it provides, but also because IRBNet is secure, web-based, and extremely intuitive and easy to use.
The WKU IRB will begin accepting electronic protocol submissions via IRBNet beginning on November 8, 2011, all protocols (including revisions and renewals) must be submitted electronically via IRBNet, and all review decision letters will be issued electronically via IRBNet. Please make your students aware of the upcoming changes
