Detail process of the protocol initial submission.


Primary Investigators or Co-Investigators ensure the submission of a complete proposal package based on the CHS IRB Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) checklists. Confirmation from the IRB officer will be sent for the submission of the complete proposal package and registration on the IRB system.

After the successful submission of the protocol, it will be registered either as expedite or full board review or emergency type of review, based on the study type and risk type of the study. Investigators will receive the reviewer’s comment through the system. Investigators shall submit the revised protocol based on the IRB comments within 15 days after receiving the comment. The investigators will receive the approval letter if the reviewers do not have further comments or concerns on the submitted revised version of the protocol.
