A new protocol that requires review by the full IRB must be submitted two weeks in advance of scheduled IRB meeting. (New protocols eligible for screenings for exemption and expedited review may be submitted at any time.)

The determination about what type of review is required for amendments to approved protocols, renewals, and  Requests for Approval of the Secondary Analysis of Existing Data will be made during the pre-review process. Researchers will be notified if their submissions require full review.

Please contact any member of the IRB staff if you are unsure whether  a submission requires full or expedited review.
