Overview

Withdrawing an application:

  • Is available to the PI and PI proxy (for initial applications, modifications, and continuing review) and to the submitter (for RNI)
  • Generally should not be used if HSD has already begun review (instead edits should be made as a part of the review process)
  • Returns the application to “Pre-Submission” state and the My Inbox area so edits can be made
  • Requires that the PI or PI Proxy resubmit to get the application back in HSD’s queue for review

Discarding an application:

  • CRs/Modifications/Reports of New Information: Discarding one of these submission types does NOT impact the parent study
  • Is available to the PI and PI proxy (for initial applications, modifications, and continuing review) and to the submitter (for RNI)
  • Should be used if the application should not be reviewed by HSD
  • Moves the application to the “Archived” area in Zipline
  • Still allows the application to be copied using the Copy Submission activity
