Does the IRB continue to review projects once they have been approved?
Yes. The Board is required to conduct continuing review of research covered by federal regulations at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk, but not less than once each year. The Board also has the authority to observe or have a third party observe the consent process and the research. Most reviews are conducted through a questionnaire reporting the status of the project, completed by the principal investigator and returned to the Chair.
