2. How to use this tutorial
This tutorial is for Chairs and Deans who have been tasked with providing organizational approval of a study.
In the Cayuse system “Organizational Approval” does not take the place of IRB approval. The Organizational Approval is also called “certifying” the submission and is the equivalent of signing the assurance and signature page from the old paper applications.
Use your keyboard’s left/right/up/down arrow (or your mouse/trackpad scroll or the spacebar) to move through the PowerPoint.
