Locating Checklists for Reviewers

Several worksheets and checklists are provided in the system to guide your review process and document your decisions. They are intended for pre-reviewers, designated reviewers, and committee reviewers.

  • Worksheets are for the reviewer's benefit only. 
  • Checklists must be completed and attached when submitting your review comments to document your decisions. 

When a submission is assigned to Non-Committee or Committee review, IRB staff may suggest Worksheets or Checklists pertinent to the review by including them with the Pre-Review activity.

To locate Worksheets or Checklists suggested for review of the submission:

1. Navigate to the appropriate submission.
See sections: Locating the Reviewer To-Do List or Locating Meeting Agenda Items.

2. Click the Reviews tab (near the middle of the screen).

3. View any supporting documents included with the Pre-Review information.
