What is the estimated time line from submission to determination?
The average turnaround time for a application undergoing IRB review, from receipt through final approval, is 4-5 weeks. Three weeks of this time involves a pre-review process, meeting arrangements, and time for board members to prepare before the convened IRB meeting. The length of time after the meeting will depend on the investigator’s ability to address stipulations made by the IRB, with time allotted for re-review and approval.
