SCRO ARROW Ongoing Activities Guidance

This page provides SCRO ARROW guidance for ongoing protocol activities

Submitting a change of protocol or continuing review application:

Continuing Review:

A continuing review application is due to the committee one year minus a day from the initial protocol or last continuing review. PIs and Points of Contact will receive emails from ARROW as a reminder to complete the continuing review. Reminders will begin to be sent 45 days before the continuing review is due. Once a protocol expires, an investigator has 30 days to respond before a new initial review application must be started.  The option to create a continuing review in ARROW will only appear once you receive the first notice.

Change of protocol:  

  1. Addition of a new cell line not listed on the NIH or UW–Madison hESC Registeries
  2. Change of funding
  3. Change of PI
  4. Significant changes in research type, study design, or research question
