#  Checking the Status of a Submission 

 



You can see a diagram showing the IRB review status (state) of your submission by opening the submission and viewing the submission workpsace (webpage). The bubble shaded orange indicates the present status in the workflow. For example, the following image indicates that this submission has been sent (submitted) to the IRB office for review and IRB review is not yet completed:

To find out more about what each status (state) means, please view the [ESTR Glossary](/file_url/121).  
  
You can easily open your submission from one of the following lists (depending on its status):

- My Inbox
