One place where your study lives

IRB work does not stop after the first submission. ClearPath keeps your protocol, consent language, team details, and revisions in one place — so your study stays current through amendments, annual updates, and handoffs.

Always know which version is current
Make edits without starting over
Add or remove team members without losing documents
Reuse past studies as templates for new work

Turn your research intent into IRB-ready language

You know what you want to study. ClearPath helps you phrase it clearly, broadly enough to pass review, and precisely enough to protect your analysis.

See what reviewers will flag before submission

Get real-time guidance on common IRB concerns, missing justifications, and unclear scope — so you avoid unnecessary revisions and back-and-forth.

Designed for revisions, amendments, and updates

Most projects stall after the first submission. ClearPath makes it easier to revise, amend, and update your study — so momentum does not disappear when requirements change.

Catch Issues Before
They Become Revisions

Projects don't die at first draft — they die at revisions and amendments. ClearPath spots the red flags that trigger back-and-forth cycles, so you don't have to rewrite it six times.

"Some participants" → "Approximately 50 participants"

The Difference

From "What Do I Even Write?" to Submission-Ready

ClearPath translates what you mean into language that passes review — without boxing you in. Guidance that coaches, not controls.

Before ClearPath

Study Purpose: We want to study how students sleep.

Participants: Some college students will be in the study.

Methods: We'll give them surveys and maybe interviews.

Risks: There shouldn't be any real risks.

Data: We'll keep the data safe.

⚠️ 5 revision requests likely
After ClearPath

Study Purpose: This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance among undergraduate students.

Participants: 150 undergraduate students aged 18-24 will be recruited via campus email and flyers.

Methods: Validated PSQI questionnaire administered via Qualtrics, with optional 30-minute follow-up interviews.

Risks: Minimal risk. Some participants may experience mild discomfort discussing sleep habits. Counseling referrals will be provided.

Data: De-identified data stored on encrypted university servers for 5 years per retention policy.

A Coach, Not a Referee

"My first submission got approved, but then I needed an amendment and everything fell apart. ClearPath kept track of what changed, what reviewers asked for, and helped me phrase the updates correctly. Saved my project."

S
Sarah M.
M3 Medical Student

"We manage 12 active studies. Before ClearPath, we had spreadsheets, email threads, and Word docs everywhere. Now everything lives in one place — I can see exactly what version we're on and what's pending for each study."

M
Marcus T.
Clinical Research Coordinator

"When my co-investigator graduated, I thought the project was over. But because we'd been using ClearPath, all the history was there — the original protocol, every amendment, every reviewer comment. I picked it up and kept going."
