Exempt studies are reviewed administratively unless they require limited IRB review or approval of an HIPAA waiver request. See our exempt FAQ page.
Expedited studies are reviewed by at least one board member. Please monitor email for any required changes. See our expedited/full board FAQ page.
Full board studies must be submitted by the 25th of the month. The full board meets on the second Wednesday of the following month to review submissions. It is important to address any concerns or new deadlines communicated to you before the meeting. See our expedited/full board FAQ page.
If additional information is needed, we will return your application to you via email for corrections. Make sure to follow the instructions in the email. Required edits related to the form itself (Application, Amendment or Annual Update) will be indicated within the form in eCompliance (see our Researcher Resources page for instructions). Required edits to attached files will be listed within the email you receive. Resubmit when all corrections have been made.
Note that some studies require consultant or ancillary reviews that will occur concurrently with our review.
Please monitor your email regularly to avoid delays in the review process.
