What comes under Full Committee Review?
Proposed human subject research, which does not fall into either the exempt or expedited review categories, must be submitted for full committee review. Visit our website www.research.drexel.edu to obtain information on how to submit projects for review, deadlines, meeting dates and committee actions. This is the most rigorous level of review and, accordingly, is reserved for research projects that present more than minimal risks to subjects. The committee may approve without changes (very rare), approve with pending conditions (since some of the IRB concerns are minimal and easily corrected); table (requires substantive changes) or disapprove (usually rare when IRB determines that the procedure is extremely invasive, puts subject population at increased risk that outweighs any benefit).
