Review Request Details

1. Click the e-mail link to open the submission.

If you no longer have the e-mail, open PERA and click on your Dashboard (upper left corner of screen). A screen will populate with a tab entitled, “My Inbox.”  Your Inbox tab will list all submissions that you have in PERA. Find any IPROTO that has the state “Modifications Required.”  Modifications Required means that the IACUC has reviewed your submission and has requested that modifications be made to it.
