Program Status and Activation Roadmap
Internal investigators may prepare protocols and receive administrative completeness review while Stella Nova completes board formation, written procedures, and applicable federal registration.
Overview
Published status without implied approval.
The activation roadmap identifies the institutional conditions required before Stella Nova can issue formal human-research determinations. Until those conditions are satisfied, the portal supports preparation, training review, document control, and administrative feedback only.

In Development
Board roster and expertise
Recruitment and documentation of the chair, scientific and nonscientific members, unaffiliated representation, alternates, and required expertise are in progress.
Planned
OHRP registration
OHRP registration begins after the board roster, institutional responsibilities, and written procedures are formally approved.
Planned
Federalwide Assurance
A Federalwide Assurance will be pursued when required for covered federally supported, nonexempt human-subjects research.
Planned
Authority to issue determinations
Formal determinations begin only after the institutional activation checklist is completed and authority is documented.
Next step
Internal investigators may prepare protocols during institutional activation.
Administrative review identifies missing training, documents, signatures, scope issues, and required revisions before formal review authority begins.
