This session offers a full walkthrough of submitting a new study in DR-IRB, designed for researchers at all experience levels. We’ll guide attendees through each step of SmartForm completion, uploading required documents, managing ancillary review routing, and submitting studies for IRB review. We will highlight submission status tracking, responding to stipulations (clarifications), and tips to avoid common errors that delay reviews. Researchers will also learn where to find key templates (e.g., consent forms, protocol formats) and when they’ll be published. Key Features: • Demo: new study SmartForm, consent uploads, and routing • Emphasis on exempt study examples using surveys or interviews • Clarification of where to locate DR-IRB-specific templates and resources • Common submission pitfalls and troubleshooting • Live Q&A and example-based learning

This is a researcher focused workshop.
