Learn How to Close Completed IRB Research Studies
Faculty in the process of transitioning to another institution or retiring from Purdue need to be aware that their active human-subject protocols must be appropriately closed or transferred to a new principal investigator (PI). This is required by federal regulations.
Departing faculty with open IRB protocols must (1) close the file, (2) transfer oversight responsibility to another responsible IRB, OR (3) be replaced on the protocol by a Purdue faculty member. It is not unusual for a combination of these actions to be necessary. Before a faculty member leaves Purdue, they should request from the IRB a list of open protocols and decide how these protocols should be managed. Requests for a summary of open protocols can be sent to irb@purdue.edu. IRB is available to work with faculty who are retiring or transferring to another institution to manage the transition of their studies.
Exempt research files should be closed as soon as the research has been completed. The PI should email irb@purdue.edu stating that the file is to be closed and identifying the study by IRB number and title. Record keeping requirements for closed studies - The PI is responsible for managing the regulatory files associated with human-subject research
- Regulatory files must remain at Purdue for a minimum of three years after the close of the study at Purdue. This is required by federal regulation.
- Department heads are responsible for maintaining access to the regulatory files (including consent forms) during the record holding period, should the PI leave Purdue
