Amendment flag for Cooperative Groups/Consortiums

A new question (1.7 Is this amendment issued by a National Cancer Institute (NCI) sponsored Cooperative Group/Consortium requiring IRB approval within 90 days of distribution?) has been added to the amendment cover sheet so study teams can flag these types of amendments.
