IRB Module Transition Timeline
-
Now – August 9, 2026Normal IRB operations. Investigators are encouraged to submit time-sensitive IRB items as early as possible. -
August 10-20, 2026 (IRB Submission Freeze Period)The IRB module will be unavailable. New IRB submissions will not be accepted, except for limited exceptions described below (e.g., emergency use, Just-in-Time, and certain reportable events). Responses on pending submissions will be accepted and encouraged in order to get protocols approved for Wave 1 conversion.
-
August 24, 2026 (IRB Module Go-Live)The new myUABResearch IRB module will go live. Only studies included in Wave 1 conversion will be available in the IRB module at launch.
-
Post Go-Live (Wave 2 Interim Period)Some studies will remain in IRAP until Wave 2 conversion. Investigators may need to work in both IRAP and myUABResearch during this time, depending on the status of their studies.
-
Protocols not approved by the Wave 2 conversion will have to be resubmitted as new protocols in myUABResearch.
Additional reminder communications will be sent as the IRB module implementation approaches, including focused guidance on submission planning and key deadlines.
