Multiple Amendments

To ensure continuity of all protocol information, only one amendment can be submitted at a time in WVU+kc. If additional changes need to be made on a protocol that already has a submitted amendment waiting on approval, there are two options to consider:

  1. Wait for the submitted amendment to be approved and then submit another amendment for the additional new information.
  2. Request the ORIC return your submitted amendment for Specific Minor Revisions, make the additional changes, upload a revised amendment form, and resubmit the fully-amended protocol.

Submit an Amendment

After making the necessary changes within the protocol document, navigate to the Submit for Review subsection of the Request an Action section.
