IRB Meetings

The committee meets monthly during the academic year to conduct IRB business. During the summer months, the IRB does not have scheduled meetings, but continuously reviews applications that qualify for exempt or expedited review, and will meet as needed to discuss business. Research protocols that require full board review must be submitted by the submission deadline to be placed on the agenda for the upcoming meeting.

Note: Research protocols that fall under exempt and expedited review categories are reviewed on a continuous basis and are not required to meet the full board committee meeting deadlines.
