OHRP’s updated web-based electronic submission system for submitting Federalwide Assurance (FWA) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) registration documents is now available at http://ohrp.cit.nih.gov/efile.
We understand that some users are experiencing technical difficulties when attempting to access and use the enhanced electronic submission system.
We apologize for these technical difficulties and are working to resolve them. We encourage institutions and IRBs that do not immediately need to update an IRB registration or FWA to wait to submit any update while we focus our efforts on debugging the electronic submission system. Please be aware that OHRP will take into account the various problems with the implementation of the enhanced electronic submission system, and will use available flexibility in its decision making if an entity is unable to comply with registration and FWA submission requirements due to these implementation issues. This flexibility will continue until the implementation issues with the electronic submission system are resolved.
If you have any questions about, or problems in attempting to use, the electronic submission system, please contact your regional/country coordinator listed at http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/daqi-staff.html#staff.
