What kind of study qualifies for an expedited or a full-board review?
A new study submission can be subjected to expedited or full-board review by assessing the level of potential risk to subjects involved. To qualify for an expedited review, the PIEC reviewer must determine that a research proposal presents no more than minimal risk to research subjects. A study that involves greater than minimal risk requires a full-board review. Both expedited and full-board review will require submission of the PIEC Application Form and all necessary documents. The final determination of the review type will be made by the PIEC upon receipt of the submission dossier.
