What is the link between the grant proposal and the IRB application for funded projects?
The funding agency expects the IRB to review and approve the use of human subjects as described in the funding proposal. Before funds are awarded, the agency requires certification of approval from the IRB. If the funding agency requires IRB approval before the funding proposal will be reviewed by the agency, then an IRB application must be submitted and pending approval in the IRB office before the funding proposal is mailed to the funding agency.
