Video Summary

The video transcript provides guidance on navigating IRIS, an online interface for submitting research studies, particularly focusing on the Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications. It starts with accessing IRIS through cortex.case.edu using one's email credentials. Basic steps covered include adding a new study, choosing the IRB option, and systematically filling out necessary sections like study type, departmental access, assigning personnel, and human subject determinations. The trainer emphasizes copying protocol and consent documents into the application, as consistency aids review.<br /><br />The process includes assigning principal and co-investigators, setting IRB contact points, determining study type (human subject, not animal or cancer research), and involving relevant academic departments. As it progresses, elements like consent forms, inclusion/exclusion criteria, minimal risk assessments, and study benefits are reviewed. The consent process, privacy protection, and document uploading (like consent forms) are explained, highlighting IRIS's redundant but necessary procedural nature for accuracy.<br /><br />Finally, the guide details review processes by academic departments and IRB, noting post-academic department review involves attaching an approval letter to study documents before IRB's final review and operational start. Steps emphasize patience, understanding, and revisions as normal, concluding with anticipation of a months-long approval timeline.
