How long will it take for IRB review?
Studies that can be approved by expedited review are ordinarily approved in 2-3 weeks, except at peak times (most typically the week preceding the deadline for submission for the monthly meeting). Projects requiring full committee review are considered at the Committee’s monthly meeting. A formal letter of approval is ordinarily mailed in the week after the Committee meeting.
