The VA Innovation and Research Review System (VAIRRS) Resource Guide assists users in navigating the library of resources and opportunities that are readily available to all VAIRRS users. Resources range from webinars to newsletters to mentor programs, and much more! VAIRRS stakeholders can utilize the Resource Guide as a directory for all VAIRRS information channels and assistance needs. This guide also contains direct access links to important content, such as the VAIRRS SharePoint portal and ORPP&E library forms/templates.
The Principal Investigator (PI) Change Instructions guide users through the process of changing a PI on a given project within the VA’s instance of IRBNet, VAIRRS. These step-by-step instructions, accompanied with screenshots, help to clarify this common circumstance and simplify the steps needed to publish this change within the system.
The IRBNet Library Access Instructions are designed to help users understand, access and navigate among your local VA Medical Center (VAMC) library, the standard Office of Research Protections, Policy and Education (ORPP&E) library, and the VA Central IRB (CIRB) library found within the IRBNet portal.
As part of the comprehensive review process, the VAIRRS Project Cover Sheet (PCS) Wizard Guide introduces descriptive language and step-by-step instructions to help stakeholders navigate the online Wizard in gov.irbnet.org. This document provides VAIRRS users with procedures, supplemental information and examples that serve as a support resource when completing the Wizard.
