Annual reports are short status reports required for all projects approved under Full review. Under the new final rule that went into effect in January 2019, Expedited reviews do not require an annual report and continuing review, unless specified by the IRB. IRB approval for these projects expires after one year. You will receive a reminder email from Mentor that IRB approval is going to expire and the Annual Report is due 7 weeks prior to the approval expiration date. Exempt status projects do not have to submit an annual report.<\/p>\n
Annual Reports are required whether the project is closed or continuing. The purpose of the Annual Report is to keep the IRB apprised of the status of the project and to either 1) request continuing review to extend the project another year or 2) terminate the project. Until the PI completes the Annual Report with request for continuing review or termination, a “Past Due” notice will block the PI from submitting new applications or amendments. If the study has been completed, to include data analysis and publication, this review serves as a reminder that PIs should close the loop and notify the IRB that the study has closed.<\/p>\n
