What is the approval time for a study reviewed by the convened IRB?
If a study requires SRC review, that must happen first. Once a study is approved by the SRC to proceed to the IRB, or if SRC review is not required, it will be prereviewed by the IRB Office. If the submission is complete (all necessary documents present and complete, including required signatures and supporting documents) it is forwarded to the next possible meeting agenda. After the convened IRB meeting, letters of of review comments are sent to the Principal Investigator within 2 weeks of IRB review.
