Expedited and Exempt Review Determination
If your study meets the criteria for either expedited review or exemption from ongoing IRB review & approval, there is no official deadline for submitting materials for expedited or exempt review; applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as materials are received. Decisions are usually issued 2 to 4 weeks after submitting all required materials. Please contact the IRB Office if your application is time-sensitive.
*Convened (Full) Board Review
If your research involves any of the following, your application will likely require review by the convened (full) board:
Minors, prisoners, pregnant women, impaired adults
Illegal activities such as drug use
Private activities such as sexual behavior
FDA approved drugs and devices presenting more than minimal risk
Non-FDA approved drugs and devices
Deception
Applications requiring review by the convened board must be submitted by the deadlines listed below (three weeks prior to meeting date). Once your application is processed by the IRB Office, you will be contacted via email with additional instructions.
