The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) Toolkit is launched and now available for use. As a reminder, the toolkit is the first component of implementing the RAMP IRB module. The toolkit provides updated protocol and consent form templates and are required to be used for submitting new IRB protocols and continuing reviews of existing IRB protocols. For modifications, researchers will have the option to submit using the HRPP Toolkit templates or the current application form. At this time, all submissions should be remitted in the HSRS system.
The RAMP IRB module development is almost complete and we remain on schedule for our go-live date of June 21. This module will result in an electronic process for the development, submission and review of IRB protocols. Once the RAMP IRB module is launched, protocols, continuing reviews, and modifications will be submitted in the new system. Additionally, the submission of Reportable New Information will also be supported within the RAMP IRB module.
We would like to offer you an opportunity to be part of this process. As a PI/Researcher, we invite you to meet with our team to test drive the new system and provide us with feedback. The time commitment is only one hour and we have scheduled sessions at multiple dates and times this month for your convenience. Please strongly consider attending one of the sessions listed below and email humansubjects@fsu.edu to reserve a spot for the session of your choice.

Training for the RAMP IRB module will occur this month for the Human Subjects Office team and IRB committee members to ensure they are comfortable in navigating through the module for protocol review workflow. We are currently in the process of developing training workshops for PIs and proxies that will be offered next month. This information will be shared with campus once the curriculum and timing is finalized.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact one of us.
