When Do I Submit an IRB?
§ Committees meet to consider research
proposals on a regular schedule; frequency is
generally 1 to 2 times per month
§ Most IRBs review and grant approval/denial
within 2 months
Review procedures and time to approval may vary
with risk level of the research study
Minimal risk studies may get quicker turn around
§ Submit and wait for written approval prior to
beginning any research that involves human
subjects or use of their personal data
