We have a new irb submission system!

A new application system CAYUSE has been implemented. This system is designed for research, but is very different from our previous software.   

Siena IRB CAYUSE Users guide

Please consult the user's guide before starting a new application.

The new application is not intuitive and the user's guide will help you navigate the process.

Be sure you have consulted the user's guide before starting a new application

New Application 
  • Use this for initially submitting a new application.
  • This includes all categories (i.e., Exempt, Exempt Limited Review, Expedited, Full).

If the IRB requests changes during the review process, you will be provided a web address in an email that you use to access and make changes to your application until it is approved. 
Please see IRB Handbook for more detailed directions.

MODIFICATION (AMENDMENT, Revision) of Approved Application
  • Use this for projects that are already approved and you would like to make a modification to the original proposal (e.g., change in co-PIs, subjects,  instruments, recruiting procedures). 
Continuing Review (Renewal) of Approved Application
  • If you wish to continue data collection beyond your approval date, submit a request for continuing review.
  • Continuing reviews and amendments must be requested separately.

The request must be received prior to the expiration of the original study.
