Research Protocols for IRB Review are accepted at any time and will be reviewed when they are submitted to determine the category of review (exempt, expedited, or full review) as determined by the IRB. Exempt and expedited reviews may take up to 2 weeks to review. Research that requires a full board review takes up to one month to review since the Board meets and votes once a month. Protocols requiring full review must be submitted at least two weeks before a full Board meeting.
