Huron Glossary
- Application
- The Application is the electronic entry form in the Huron system.
- Discard
- Choosing the Discard option will delete the submission and remove it from the review queue. New studies that are discarded can be copied (using the Copy Submission button) to create a new study record with all documents from the previously-discarded study available for revision. Modifications that are discarded cannot be copied, so a new modification request will have to be created by the study team.
- IRB Coordinator
- The Institutional Review Board (IRB) Coordinator is the Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) staff member who is assigned to pre-review your submission. An IRB Coordinator won’t be assigned until the intake review process is complete and your submission has been entered into the review queue.
- PI Proxy
- A PI proxy is a study team member who is granted the authority to submit on the PI’s behalf. A modification request is not required to designate a PI proxy, but only individuals who are already approved as study team members can be designated as a PI proxy.
- Primary Contact
- The primary contact will receive all email notifications related to the submission and be able to create new Modifications, Continuing Reviews and Reportable New Information, but does not have the ability to create or submit on behalf of the PI.
- Protocol
- The Protocol is the uploaded document detailing the research study (HRP-503 Template Protocol or HRP-503a Template SBS Protocol).
- Study Team Member
- Study Team Member refers to any Brown-affiliated person involved in human subjects research activities for the study. The PI is listed on the Basic Information page and does not need to be included here.
- Withdraw
- Choose the Withdraw option when your submission is in the Pre-Review stage but you want to make additional edits before an IRB coordinator is assigned to your submission.Once a submission is in Pre-Review, the study team can no longer make changes, unless it is returned to the Pre-Submission stage (using the Withdraw function) or clarifications have been requested by the IRB coordinator. Withdrawing your submission to make additional edits will affect your spot in the queue.
