Subject: *IMPORTANT* INFORMATION REGARDING CHANGES IN IRB PROCEDURES
To: irb@uvm.edu

Hello,

Next week we will begin forwarding, via email, IRB correspondence from the InfoEd system.  To help you identify these emails, the subject line will begin with the word "IRB" followed by the protocol number.  Example below:

IRB Clarification for M10-001

IRB Continuing Review for M10-001 and so on

Please do not disregard these emails as we will not be sending hard copies of the correspondence that have been emailed to you.

You may reply via email to any correspondence that you have received via email from us. However, at this time, any new submissions of any type still require paper copies to be submitted for review due to limitations of the current version of our software. Paper submission instructions are located on our forms web page at:   http://www.uvm.edu/~iacuc/?Page=iacucforms/iacucforms.html

Thank you and please don't hesitate to contact us with any problems or concerns. The earlier we are made aware of any problems with this process the sooner we can address them.
