As this study was approved under an exempt or expedited process, recently revised
regulatory requirements do not require the submission of annual continuing review
documentation. However, it is critical that the following submissions are made to the IRB
to ensure continued compliance:

 Modifications to the protocol prior to initiating any changes (for example, the
addition of study personnel, updated recruitment materials, change in study
design, requests for additional subjects)
 Reportable New Information/Unanticipated Problems Involving Risks to Subjects
or Others
 Study Closure

Unless a waiver has been granted by the IRB, use the stamped consent form approved by
the IRB to document consent. The approved version may be downloaded from the
documents tab.

In conducting this study, you are required to follow the requirements listed in the
Investigator Manual (HRP-103), which can be found by navigating to the IRB Library
