Finding Approval Letters And Approved Boilerplate Language

Use your CTEP IAM username and password to log into IRBManager.

The IRBManager dashboard displays studies and xForms (Worksheets) associated with your Signatory Institution. If you are associated with more than one Signatory Institution, the list of studies and Worksheets will be grouped by Signatory Institution.

Click on the total xForms link to view all Worksheets associated with your Signatory Institution. The My Site Forms page will list all of these.

Here’s a way to make it easy to find a specific Worksheet. You can click the Form field to arrange the Worksheets in alphabetical order. If you hold the Shift key and click the Stage field, the display will be secondarily sorted by Stage. The Shift key function may be used on any field.

To view a specific Worksheet, click the link under the Form field. This action will open the Worksheet in a new window. 

A link to the approval letter titled "Approval Letter for your reference" in red text is located at the top of each completed worksheet. Click on the Approval Letter link to open a PDF dialogue box asking to either open or save it. Click Open to view the Approval Letter or click Save to save the approval to the appropriate local directory.

The most current boilerplate language is captured in the most recently approved Annual Signatory Institution Worksheet. Refer to the previous steps above to find your most recently approved Worksheet. Click on the Approval Letter link to view the Approval Letter. The boilerplate language begins in the fourth paragraph of the Approval Letter.
