What should an applicant do if Institutional Review Board approval is still pending at the time of the application deadline?
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval statement is an essential element in the Advisory Councils’ evaluation of proposed research, so it is strongly suggested that applications be submitted only after IRB approval is received. The Advisory Councils may defer applications lacking such approval until the next funding round. However, if an application is submitted with the IRB approval pending, the applicant should indicate that approval is pending on the application form, and then forward the appropriate material to the Foundation as soon as possible. If the grant application is accepted for funding before IRB approval is obtained, funds will not be released until the approval is submitted. When can I find out if my ABMRF grant application was approved for funding? Applicants are advised of Council recommendations with a formal letter approximately one month after the review meetings are held. If you have questions about your ABMRF decision letter, please contact us at grantinfo@
