Once your study has been pre-reviewed or reviewed by a Solutions IRB reviewer, the designated research team members will receive an email with any required revisions. There are some important steps that now need to be taken to effectively submit your revisions.
First, all documents that require edits need to be revised using a tracking function. You will then submit the track change copy and the clean copy of each edited document. The digital Solutions IRB application also has a track change button that needs to be selected so the edits are recorded. This aids in the reviewer’s comparison of the old and new documents, to ensure the requested edits are made.
Second, submit a response letter that identifies that each edit was made, gives explanation, or provides clarification to the reviewer’s concerns. This document will save the back-and-forth conversation that tends to happen when clarification is not given, or documents are not provided but the reviewer is unsure why. This should be added to the study with your other revised documents.
Lastly, when all revisions are submitted, please check the “Submit Revisions for Review” checkbox above your study title in the Axiom Mentor system. This notifies your reviewer that you are ready for them to review your revisions. Without checking this box, they will not be notified, and the review timeline is extended. Please also ensure that all revisions are made, and all requested documents are uploaded properly. This will save time in the review process.
If you have any questions for your reviewer or the administrative team, please feel free to send us a message in the Axiom Mentor system by clicking the “Messages” button on the right-hand side of your study page. This is the quickest form of communication with your reviewer and goes directly to them. We look forward to working with you on your study soon!
