Stages of projects at UMKC?
An active project is a project that is considered "open". The eProtocol IRB system currently recognizes the following stages in the life of a project:
- Pending – A project has been submitted to the Human Subjects Office (HSO) and is currently under review by the IRB. It has not received a formal IRB determination or IRB approval.
- Withdrawn - A project that was withdrawn from the IRB system prior to IRB approval.
- Disapproved - A project which was reviewed by the IRB and not granted IRB approval.
- Open - A project that has obtained IRB review and approval. Research related activities can begin or are underway.
- Closed - A project status which indicates all research related activities have ended.
Projects can be categorized in one of four ways:
- Not Human Subjects Research
- Exempt review
- Expedited review
- Full Board review
