  12. Components of INSPIR to be Covered Today • Logging – on • Roles (investigator, PI) • View Protocols screen • Individual protocol screens • Set Privileges • Entering new studies into INSPIR • Converting approved studies to INSPIR

  13. Check Ability to Log In to INSPIR • Use your BU user name as your log-in name • Use your BU/ Kerberos password as your password • Click log-in Go to https://braan.bumc.bu.edu/brainlogin.asp

  14. Problems with Logging On • Need a presence in the BU Active Directory as BU employee or guest • Registered for INSPIR • Browser settings correct

  15. Troubleshooting Log-on Problems • Make sure you have the correct website • Browser settings • Using BU user name and password • Go to INSPIR page for help www.bumc.bu.edu/inspir

  16. INVESTIGATOR Role • Applies to ALL members of the research staff (PI, study coordinators, data managers, research nurses, co-investigators) • For each study a PI is identified in the system • For each study the PI determines who may view and /or modify the protocol (using Set Privileges function) • Only the investigator who is named the PI on a study has access to the SUBMIT button • Will not be able to assign a study to a PI who is not in the INSPIR database

  17. SUBMIT Function • Only the PI can submit new protocols, Progress Reports (CR), and amendments • Any investigator with read/write privileges can submit SAEs, deviations, exceptions • Ability to submit is determined by • PI status on the study • Submit privileges in the system • If PI is unable to “submit” contact the IRB office

  18. Submission Control • Using the “submit” button = PI signature • Only the PI can submit items that alter the “approved” version of the protocol • BU policy against giving out password to anyone • IRB policy is that only the PI is allow to submit /change protocol • All other members of the research staff should NOT submit • PI has access from any internet site

  19. View Protocols • Overview of all of your studies • Divided up into “piles” • Red stars next to studies that require attention (pending issues) • Can also see studies where you are co-investigator or research staff if the PI has granted read privileges to you • Studies will appear as Human (draft form) or with H-number (if submitted) • Old IRB number will be included in the title-searchable field • Can see when approval expires for each study

  20. Protocol Page • From View Protocol page – click onto a protocol • Opens up that protocol to cover page- displays overall info • Select from drop down “What do you want to do” menu

  21. Set Privileges • From Protocol Page • “What do you want to do?” drop down • Select “set privileges” • Can add others to read only or read write • Also determine who will get email notifications

Entering New Studies into INSPIR • Will have to “take human exam” the first time • PI may initiate study • Coordinator can initiate study- default PI must be changed (PI must be in INSPIR database) • Coordinator should then grant privileges to himself/herself to be able to access that study again --read/write privileges • Can copy from other protocol (if you have access)

  23. Conversion of Approved Studies to INSPIR • Can do a conversion amendment at any point- must do before submitting another amendment or a Progress Report • Locate in View Protocols- initially only the PI will have access to the protocol • Studies listed under the incorrect PI will be hard to locate • Will have H number (INSPIR protocol number) • Will have only minimal fields completed

  24. Conversion of Approved Studies to INSPIR • Open study • Create amendment-select conversion to INSPIR • Open protocol (IRB application) • Complete like a new application • Create consent form • Submit (no signatures necessary) • Once conversion is approved then you can submit additional amendments / Progress Report
