Build your research ethics submission checklist.

How to build your research ethics submission checklist

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Keep protocol versions and required attachments ready for committee administration.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the research administrator records the submission and how the protocol owner reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your research ethics submission checklist

• Keep the submission in context

  Keep submission, protocol version, required attachment, review owner, committee status and next action together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  An investigator revises a protocol after submitting supporting documents. Link the attachments to their version and request the committee's review rather than inferring approval.

• Keep next action visible

  Keep the submission incomplete without inferring ethics approval.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the research administrator a working view and the protocol owner a review view. Keep submission and protocol version attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
