Hooray and hoorah, I submitted a mammoth-sized pile of documents to IRB today for the Biomedical Review board. Between the multiple copies of everything, the fact that so much of the material had to be in both English and Spanish (with translation certifications), the thing was probably 250+ pages. I practically had to give a blood sample to turn it in… but it’s DONE. Fingers are crossed that any review is minor. Time to move on to hiring staff… but that can wait until next week. Important work presses…
Like finishing the paint on the ladder. Adhering superhero names to our costumes. Adjusting my wig. Finding awesome costume bling. Determining which headpiece is the most appropriate for each parade. Important. Adult. Business. Get out the glue gun; it’s Carnival time!

Well, welcome to MY world. I helped design the online IRB application here. It’s a huge, ugly process, alas.
Wish I could sign on the project! But good for you, for moving things forward.
Keep those Mardi Gras reports coming, they are keeping me going in the arctic cold here.
