Cayuse IRB and New Common Rule Requirements

The new federal Final Rule, referred to as the new Common Rule requirements, are in effect as of January 21, 2019. The primary changes resulting from this new guidance are changes in categories of review especially for exempt and expedited studies, modifications to consent requirements, and changes in continuing review requirements for expedited studies. Guidance regarding the new consent requirements is available on the website. 

In addition, the new online submission system, Cayuse, is now available for the submission of new IRB protocols. The website contains information about establishing a Cayuse account, logging into Cayuse, and initiating a new application.

Training workshops have been scheduled on all campuses and we strongly encourage all faculty and students conducting human subjects research to attend these hands-on workshops for training.
