Share the project with the project team

Sharing a project in IRBNet gives others (Co-Investigators, Advisors) access to your research. There are three levels of access when sharing:

Signature Only (Read): Users whose ONLY role is to sign off on project documentation should be granted “Read” access. Users with Read access can view project documentation, communicate with the project team, and add their signatures. NOTE: Read access should be provided to IRB Liaisons.

Write: Users that are granted “Write” access can view and edit project documents, collaborate with other users and add their signature, but MAY NOT grant access to other users, submit packages for review or perform any other administrative functions.

Full: Users that are granted “Full” access can perform all functions without restriction. This includes editing project documents, sharing the project with other users, submitting document packages for review and deleting document packages. NOTE: ONLY Project Owners with day-to-day responsibility for the project should be granted Full access. Users with Full access will receive automatic email copies of all project notifications and alerts that are sent to the Project Owners.

To share a project:

1. The PI will need to Share the Project with Co-Investigators and the Faculty Advisor by navigating to “Share My Project” under the Project Administration menu.
2. Then, click the first blue link titled “share.”
3. Select the University of Maryland – College Park (UMCP) as the organization.
4. Then, at the bottom of the page you will see a search box to search for users by last name.
5. To “share” your research project with someone, they must have an IRBNet account. If you are unable to find them, you may be searching in the “Search for an Organization” text box or they may not have an IRBNet account.
6. In order for someone to be able to link their certificate to a project, they need at least “Write” access (see Step 6 below for how to link CITI training to a project).
