The CIRB determines the age ranges when a child’s assent is required. If a child in the age range determined by the CIRB cannot provide assent, an Assent Waiver must be obtained prior to the child’s enrollment in the study. An electronic process has been developed for staff at enrolled institutions to request an assent waiver from the CIRB for an individual child in IRBManager.

Dear CIRB Stakeholders,
As part of ongoing quality improvement efforts, the CIRB Operations Office has made changes to the document posting process in order to improve timeliness as well as centralize the location of CIRB-approved study documents. These changes eliminate the 24-48 hour lag time between study activation and document posting, as well as limiting duplicative and inconsistent posts.
