Hi All,
In the November 16, 2023 - Human Ethics Release Notes it is noted that Decision Type updates have been made and include that the decision type of Disapproved has now been changed to Not Approved and is available across all review types in the system.
It is also noted that more information about the decision types can be found in the article, Understanding Decision Types in Human Ethics. In the article, the decision table identifies Not Approved as being only for full board decisions to not approve the research (IRB decision to to disapprove), see below:

Resulting Study Status (Note: Study Status will not change for legacy studies)

Not Approved |
The full board identified major issues with the study or submission and did not approved the research.
In the case of an initial study that is Not Approved, a new study and submission will need to be created.
For renewal, modification, etc. submissions that are Not Approved, the research team will need to create a new submission if they wish to proceed.
|
Not Approved |
The submission and/or study are not approved and no longer editable.
An initial submission that is not approved is archived.
|
So now that Disapproved has been changed to Not Approved, when a convened IRB meets and makes a decision to disapprove, how are you entering that decision in Cayuse now that Disapproved is not an option?
