Review Process


1. Evaluate whether or not the proposed study meets the criteria for exemption, expedited, or full board review.
  • Student investigators should work closely with the faculty sponsor to help determine the type of review required.

2. Complete the CITI training.

  • Make sure CITI training has been completed by or certification is current for all co-investigators and the faculty sponsor (if applicable).

3. Submit all applications for human subjects research using IRBManager.

  • Depending on the workload and completeness of submitted materials, review and processing times may take up to 3 weeks for exemptions and up to 8 weeks for minimal risk and full board protocols.

Pre-application meetings are encouraged for clarification of any aspect of the review process. Contact the research compliance administrator to schedule a meeting.
