Migration Information and FAQs

Migration 

The first migration will begin at 7pm  on Thursday, January 12, 2023.  In the “first wave,” the only protocols that will be migrated are approved studies that do not have an amendment or progress report in process.   Studies that do not migrate in the first wave will migrate in the “second wave” if the action is completed.  If the action is not completed by the time of the second wave, then it will migrate without that action being processed (the investigator will need to start over with the modification or CR in PROTECT). The exact date of the second wave will be determined and communicated to the community.

Note that Exempt protocols and NHSR projects will not migrate.  If you need to submit a modification for one of these types of protocols in PROTECT, enter it as a new project but refer back to the previously approved protocol and indicate that you are now submitting a modification.
