Hi Eileen, At my former institution, we had 1 umbrella protocol that was used for one of our research groups who studied a specific population and used the umbrella for maintaining a group of previous participants who had consented to future contacts for recruitment and/or consented for their data to be used in projects under the umbrella. Somewhat reminiscent of broad consent. We were not using Cayuse at that institution so I do not have any insight on how that protocol would have acted in this system but I am happy to talk with you about our use of that protocol if you wish.

Hi all:
I am wondering how institutions handle applications for approval of Umbrella IRB protocols generally and in the Cayuse platform. I'd be grateful for any example policies, processes or procedures.
Thanks!
