Submission Types
CIRBI submissions are categorized into specific types based on the activities that will occur during the study and where study activities will be conducted. Picking the correct submission type during submission creation allows Advarra to efficiently collect the submission information we need from you. Review the descriptions on the Create a New Submission page carefully to ensure you select the correct submission type for your study or site.
In general, submissions are defined by the following types:
| Submission Reason | CIRBI Submission Type | |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol needs IRB review | The study will be conducted at one research site. |
|
| The study will be conducted at multiple research sites and Advarra IRB will serve as the central IRB. The protocol is being submitted on behalf of all participating sites. | Multi-Site Protocol | |
| Site/PI joining a multi-site protocol needs IRB review | Site Submission | |
| Advisory/consultant review of a draft protocol (doesn't include formal regulatory IRB approval) | Advisory Review | |
| Generic (not specific to a particular study) materials need IRB review | Generic Materials | |
To select one, click the Begin button to the right of the submission type’s name and description. The submission forms page is displayed.
In-depth submission creation instructions are described in the submission type pages linked above.
