IRB responded!!
My research went through full board approval — and no big changes required! NO changes to protocol, questionnaire, or outreach materials. I have to make 6 minor changes to my consent form and turn in the final consent for final approval. The changes include changing “subject” to “participant” on one line and adding a running title to the header on each page. The other changes involve phrasing/wording, which is a little funny to me since, most likely, the consent will rarely (if ever) be given in English. But this is NOT a complaint… I’m very excited!
… and a bit freaked out because now I actually have to officially hire staff and start doing summa’ that primary investigator stuff!

Yep, it’s like when my dad got his lung cancer diagnosis – AND a major NIH grant, all at the same time. Thankfully he’s in remission from the cancer…as I’m sure your family will be from all your ailments.

Seriously, that’s all? Our IRB approvals take FOREVER and go through multiple iterations. Nicely done!
You all need some rest and chicken soup. NOW, before it gets worse.
