Hi Amanda,
When you say "no longer need review," do you mean that the study no longer involves human subjects activities so the IRB protocol can be closed? Or do you mean that the study no longer needs continuing review, even if it still includes human subjects activities?
I don't think we've encountered the former much, but if we did, then I'd say that we'd probably just administratively close the study and not bother with approving the renewal.
If the latter, then we'd approve the renewal but not assign as expiration date.

Subject: Continuing Review Processing
For those using Human Ethics Platform, how do you process a Continuing Review Submission that falls under the "no longer need review?" Noticed there isn't a decision for "Close." Do you approve the submission, then close the study on the Administrative end?
What is your process?
