Responding to Pre-Review

When HRPP staff have questions, comments, or requests for revisions to a submission in Kuali Protocols, an email notification will be sent from the system to all individuals listed on the Protocol with Full Access.

Using the link in the email notification, access the submission that requires revision.  A yellow feedback box will display at the top of the Form that identifies the HRPP staff member (screener) who has reviewed your submission and may provide additional information. 

Pre-review may be communicated through one or more of the following – General Action Items, Action Items, and/or Admin Notes & Files. 

Note: The information in this instructional guide does not apply to Reportable Events.  For more information on viewing and responding to pre-review for Reportable Events, see the Reportable Events instructional guide.
