Q: My project has changed quite a bit. What should I do now?
A: You will have to file an Amendment Form. That amendment will be reviewed by the IBC.

Please remember that ALL changes should be reported to the IBC, no matter how insignificant you may think it is!

Q: Can't I wait until the annual review period to update and make significant changes to the protocol?
A: No, as that would be out of compliance with federal regulations. Please contact the IBC Coordinator for further assistance.
