The ePortfolio is here and the Office of the IRB is completing the transition from Microsoft Word documents to electronic submission forms in IRAP called Smart Forms. On November 30, 2020, The following Microsoft Word forms and applications will be retired:
- Investigator’s Progress Report (IPR)
- Project Revision/Amendment Form (PRAF)
- Full (Convened) Renewal Submission Checklist
- Expedited Renewal Submission Checklist
These documents are currently located at the bottom of the “Forms” webpage on the UAB IRB website. Submissions after November 30, 2020, should be made using the “Continuing Review” or “Revision/Amendment” smart forms in IRAP.
Please do not submit a continuing review or amendment via the ePortfolio for studies that were initially approved using a Microsoft Word form. For studies submitted prior to the ePortfolio, users should submit a continuing review application or amendment using the “Continuing Review” or “Revision/Amendment” smart forms available in IRAP. How-To Guides for the “Continuing Review” or “Revision/Amendment” smart forms are available on the ePortfolio Training Website.
If you have comments and feedback regarding the ePortfolio or one of the IRB Smart Forms, please submit them using the IRB Survey link. For more information, please contact Christina Blackmon (
