What are the deadlines for submitting Human Subjects protocols/forms to the GGSE Research Office?
The Human Subjects Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month. Protocols must be submitted to the UCSB Office of Research by the last day of the preceding month in order to be reviewed at the next meeting. To meet these deadlines, researchers should submit their protocols and/or forms to the GGSE Research Office by the 26th of the month. Acquisition of signatures can take several days so please allow the Research Office time to process your materials. There are no deadlines for Exemptions and Expedited Reviews. These protocols/forms are reviewed continuously.
