The Penn State IRB recently announced a new Reportable New Information standard operating
procedure (SOP) for submitting information on new or increased risks to participants, harms
experienced, audit reports, failure to follow the IRB-approved protocol, and other applicable
information—it will be implemented as of August 19, 2013. The new SOPs for Reportable New
Information replace the previous “SOP Addendum for Reporting and Review of Unanticipated
Problems Involving Risks to Participants or Others” and “Unanticipated Problem” SOPs.
