The IRB must review and approve all changes to previously approved Full Committee or Expedite research prior to implementing the changes. For additional information, see our guidance on Modifying Approved Research.
Projects that meet the definition of regulated human research under the Common Rule may fit within one or more categories of “Exempt” research. This does not mean that these studies do not need IRB review. For a research study to be deemed "Exempt", investigators need to submit an application to the IRB. Please note that an "Exempt" determination must be made by the IRB.
Approval timelines are contingent upon the complexity of a study, the investigator's responsiveness, and whether applicable approvals have been obtained. Average approval timelines are broken down by level of review:
