Adding Research Personnel

The Reliance System allows for users to be added to a Reliance Request at any time. Being added to a reliance request allows that user to view the request in their own SMART IRB Reliance System Dashboard. If the research personnel added is from the PI Home Institution, the added research personnel will also be able to make edits for the request, including adding other sites, personnel, or making general edits to the submission (if the submission is in 'draft', 'under review', or 'action required' states).
