Investigators will sometimes submit items to the IRB on an Excel Spreadsheet. This is most common at Continuing Review for PIs who use the Events and Deviations Table template that is available on the IRB’s website. This table is in the form of a spreadsheet with two worksheets on it. When looking at these tables, or anything else that comes in on a spreadsheet, please remember to check ALL the worksheets included in the table. The individual worksheets are accessible by clicking the tabs at the bottom of the file, as illustrated below.
If you have trouble finding anything you’re expecting to see in a study’s CLARA file, please contact the IRB office for assistance. We can either find it for you in the file or get a copy from the study team.
