Amendment
OR-hSCRO listserv June 11, 2024
Remember: Any change to a hSCRO protocol requires a prospectively submitted amendment, reviewed and approved by the UCI hSCRO, prior to implementation.
When it is time to submit an Amendment in KRP:
- Visit the hSCRO Protocol Amendment webpage for additional information.
- Access Kuali Research Protocols. Need help? Use the KRP User Guide
- Once in the hSCRO protocol, on the right side, click, “Amend.”
- When in the Amendment Section, select “Amendment: hSCRO.”
- Be sure to describe each and every change being made.
- In general, the type of review (e.g., subcommittee or full committee) review depends on the significance and complexity of the change being requested. One thing is fairly certain however: missing details will delay hSCRO review.
