Key Changes:
(1) NIH has already rolled out inclusion data in a structured format in the competing application forms. Progress reports will transition to the new inclusion reporting format over the summer (see NOT-OD-14-085).
(2) As of October 17, 2014, grantees will be able to access their inclusion enrollment data through the Inclusion Management System in the eRA Commons and can update their inclusion data as often as needed.
(3) NIH will migrate inclusion enrollment data from the Population Tracking System into the Inclusion Management System.

Members serve on the IRB for a three (3) year renewable appointment where they review research protocols, attend meetings, and discuss issues with the aim to protect the rights and welfare of the research subjects. Members have expertise in different areas to ensure that research protocols are evaluated fairly by knowledgeable individuals.
IRB member responsibilities
Time requirement
The board typically meets five (5) times during the academic year: October, December, February, April and June. Meetings are on Mondays from 10 am-12 pm.
Most of the protocols we receive are eligible for expedited review; members review on the average 15-20 new and/or continuing protocols each academic year. Occasionally the IRB reviews a protocol in need of a full review.
Please contact Tim Sparklin, Office for Research Protections and Compliance (ORPC) or Susan Sonnenschein (IRB Chair) if you are interested in becoming a member by May 31, 2014. We are anticipating the member appointment beginning in July 2014. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to the OPRC at compliance@umbc.edu.

Applicants preparing multi-project applications using ASSIST will not have access to their applications during the downtime and should plan according for May deadlines.
Any applications submitted to Grants.gov during the downtime will be held at Grants.gov. Once service is restored, the applications will be processed by NIH and the submission results will be made available in eRA Commons.
