The latest updates to ERSA include enhancements to the agenda management system, allowing users to send final agendas via ERSA instead of email. Significant changes to how projects are reviewed and authorized have been introduced, with new workflows for study applications, amendments, and continuing reviews. The NCI-CIRB has also transitioned to an independent model, assuming responsibility as the sole IRB of record for various clinical trials. Critical local responsibilities have shifted to institutions like Ochsner, including reporting compliance issues and merging approved documentation.

No further CIRB review is required because both components are already CIRB-approved.
