Issue
What are the new NIH guidelines for PDF document locations in eResearch Regulatory Management?
Resolution
In eResearch Regulatory Management, the IBC Application has a number of sections (Sections 1-1 through 1-4) which are a long series of questions. Each question directly ties to an NIH Guideline regarding certain types of research. In the Help text for most of these questions, there are links to a PDF document, provided by the NIH, of all the NIH guidelines and definitions. Those links within the Help text of the IBCA smartform navigate to a bookmarked location in the PDF that pertains to the question that was clicked on (see example below, e.g. NIH Guidelines Appendix B)
As of July 29, 2024, ITS moved the location of the NIH Guidelines PDF document off the ITS.umich.edu domain and into the same location where eResearch RM stores its Help content files. ITS also uploaded a new version of the NIH document which was produced on April 2024, whereas the old one was last updated April 2019.

NOTE: Following July 29, 2024, if you click on a link to the NIH Guidelines document within the eResearch system and it takes you to the old link address (above), then you will need to do a hard refresh of the page in your browser or clear your browsing cache to force the browser to download all the new help files for the page.
