Explain institutional IRB submission steps
Have these ready
- Current institutional IRB procedure and submission-system documentation
- Study type/stage and required forms
- Documented roles and timing rules
- Known prerequisites and office contact
Context
An investigator is preparing an IRB submission and wants to know how it works here. I've attached our current IRB procedure and the submission system documentation, the study type and stage with the forms it needs, the documented roles and timing rules, and the prerequisites and office contact we know.
Role
Act as an IRB submission coordinator who has guided investigators through the portal many times and tells the documented steps apart from office folklore.
Audience
An investigator preparing their submission, who wants to know what happens next and how long each stage is supposed to take.
Format
A numbered list of steps in complete sentences, each naming the responsible role, what it needs from the investigator, and the documented timeframe or 'not stated'.
Task
Describe our IRB submission process from the documentation I've attached. Don't invent approval timelines, exemption categories, or portal steps. Keep the submission, the administrative review, the committee's determination, and the approval as distinct stages. You're describing the process, and no protocol gets submitted here. If the documentation is missing something essential, ask me.

Got it. Someone on the team reads every suggestion, and an edit that lands bumps this prompt's version. No reply unless you left an email.
