What is the time period for the review of a proposal?
The estimated review time for exemptions and expedited reviews is three weeks. This time frame may be increased if revisions/changes are requested before the review process can be completed. Protocols requiring full review by the Institutional Review Board are to be submitted to the Office for Research Protections (ORP) by the specified dates noted on the following documents: 2008 Biomedical IRB Meeting List (PDF) | 2008 Social Science IRB Meeting List (PDF). The meeting dates/times are listed on these documents as well. The time frame for approval may be increased if additional information and/or revisions are required by the IRB in order for them to conduct a thorough review prior to issuing an approval.
