What is the difference between Exempt, Expedited and Full Board Review?
Exempt research is research that is “exempt” from the federal regulations. To qualify for this designation, you must apply via the exempt application process and your study will be reviewed by the HSPP staff to ensure the study qualifies for an exemption. Investigators may not make this determination for themselves and the study must meet institutional requirements. To learn if you qualify for an exemption, use the flowchart or call to speak with an HSPP staff member.
