What is needed for an application renewal?
An application is valid for a period of up to one calendar year from the date of IRB approval. The expiration date is clearly indicated on the letter of approval and in the IRBWISE database. The IRB will send the principal investigator an automated email renewal reminder approximately 60 days prior to the expiration of approval. A final automated email reminder will be sent 30 days later. If renewal materials are not received by the end of the month in which an approval expires, the project will be automatically inactivated and all data collection and human subject interaction must stop. Note: an application may be renewed no more than four times. After the fourth renewal, a new application must be submitted. See the Guidelines for more information about renewals.
