Central Washington University - Human Subjects Review Program: Human Subjects Review Committee and Schedule

The CWU Human Subjects Review Committee (HSRC), also known as the "institutional review board" (IRB), is appointed by the President.

The Human Subjects Review Committee recommends that principal investigators turn in research proposals at least three weeks prior to a scheduled HSRC meetings.

2008-2009 HSRC Meeting Schedule

Academic Year 2008-2009: Oct. 1, Nov. 12, Dec. 10, Jan. 7, Feb. 4, March 4, April 1, May 13, June 10, July-August, as needed

It can take up to six weeks for the Human Subjects Review Committee to process an application requiring full Committee review; however, due to the large number of applications submitted at the beginning of each quarter, processing time may be longer. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that early quarter applications (especially those under deadlines due to grant funding) be submitted earlier than normal.
