What type of research requires full board review?
Any research that involves more than minimal risk to respondents requires full board review. In rare instances, initial applications may require an application for full board review. In most cases, the typical type of research conducted at UTC is eligible for expedited review. Researchers are encouraged to contact the IRB Chair prior to submitting a full board review application. In some instances the IRB Chair or IRB Committee members may feel that an application requires a full board hearing. In those instances, the IRB Chair will notify the principal investigator on the application and request additional information if needed.
