Update Study Team

Take the 2 minute Zipline Online Help Library feedback survey [1] to help us improve Zipline support.

Study Team members who need to view and edit the Zipline application must be added to the Local Study Team Members SmartForm page in the initial study application. After the study review is complete, any changes to the list of study team members who need access must be made via a study team member modification. You can also update the primary contact [2] or add someone to the study guest list [3] without submitting a modification. This applies to studies reviewed by the UW as well as studies reviewed by a non-UW IRB.

If a study team member does not need access to the Zipline application, there is no need to add them to the Local Study Team Members SmartForm page.

If you need to update information about the study roles, follow the instructions for study modifications. [4]

Keep in mind:

  1. Only users with a Zipline account [5] can be added to the study team in Zipline. If you don’t see someone on the list, they must create a Zipline account.
  2. Anyone who needs PI Proxy permissions must be listed on the study team.
  3. Faculty advisors cannot submit ancillary review if they are listed on the study team. If desired, faculty advisors may be added to the study team once the ancillary review has been submitted.
