What happens if I do not submit the HRPP Progress Update by the due date each year?

Answer

If the Principal Investigator does not submit the HRPP Progress Update by the annual anniversary date of the study's initial approval/exemption, the study will be administratively closed. 

If a study is closed before the study is complete, a New Study Application must be submitted to the IRB to continue research activities.  The investigator must wait until that new application is approved to continue research activities.
