What is Happening

Huron IRB and hSCRO will launch on September 15, 2025.  In order to transition effectively, limited protocol submissions will begin on August 4, 2025 and run through September 14, 2025.

Limited Protocol Submissions

Beginning August 4, 2025 the UCI IRB will only allow certain submissions. This will allow additional time for HRP to clear their review queue, train on the new system and, importantly, the data migration process. 

Exceptions may be made based on how closely the application meets the below criteria.  Researchers who qualify will submit through the current process in KRP.  To obtain the passcode needed for submission, contact Beverley Alberola or Jessica Sheldon in HRP<> AFTER August 1, 2025.

The following table illustrates what submissions will and will not be allowed:

Data Migration – Important Points!!

• Only IRB and hSCRO approved protocols will migrate from KRP to Huron IRB
• Unsubmitted drafts will be discarded.
• Not yet approved applications will be discarded. 

Next Steps

• If a protocol is currently under IRB review, work closely with the HRP and the IRB to finalize and approve the application prior to the launch and final data migration – prior to September 15, 2025.
