Institutional Review Board (IRB) Survey Software Statement
“If projects that have IRB approval for QuestionPro are migrated to Qualtrics, it is not necessary to submit an amendment request to the IRB as long as all of the security protections approved for the project in QuestionPro are carried over to Qualtrics. For investigators with projects under review, who are not sure whether their projects will be hosted on Qualtrics or QuestionPro, the IRB recommends specifying a UT OIT-supported platform rather than the specific product.”
