NEW SUBMISSIONS

The majority of protocols require a full review, but if you believe your new research project qualifies for expedited review, fill out and attach supplemental form E to your submission to request such a review. If you believe your study can be exempted from review, fill out only the “Claim of Exemption” and submit this along with a copy of the grant that may be funding the research. The IRB will then notify you if indeed your study qualifies as exempt or if you will need to submit a full protocol submission.

The IRB will make the final decision regarding level of review.

Submissions are due by 5 PM on the deadline date, unless otherwise noted. Please check the Submission and Meeting Dates page for the most current deadlines. Late submissions will be reviewed at the next scheduled meeting. Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed until all necessary materials have been received regardless of the date the initial submission was received.

It is the responsibility of the Investigator to ensure that research is approved prior to initiation.
