All research involving human subjects should be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review. The IRB will meet on the second Wednesday of each month during spring semester 2017. Proposals requiring a full board review will be reviewed at the next scheduled meeting if submitted by the end of the prior month. A response to those proposals requiring full board review will be sent within a week of the IRB meeting which reviewed the proposal.
A reminder: the IRB does not meet as a full board during June, July, or August. Please plan accordingly and submit any proposals that may require full board review by the end of March, so the proposal may be reviewed at the April IRB meeting. Thus, if revisions are needed, they can be resubmitted for review at the May IRB meeting.
Proposals should be submitted by emailing the completed Request For Review form and associated documents to irb@up.edu. For additional information, including a copy of the request template, go to up.edu/irb.
