Yes. Currently the policies and procedures approved by the College allow for ethical review to take place at the departmental level (see pg. 4 of Polices and Procedures….). A faculty member serves as the Departmental Coordinator and is accountable to the college IRB. Ethical reviews at the departmental level follow the same substantive procedures and policies for record-keeping. Departments interested in setting up a departmental review option should contact the chair of the IRB and develop procedures and forms in consultation with the IRB.
