Full Board Review Applications / proposals that require full Committee review may take up to as long as two months for Committee review depending on when the application is received and the Committee schedule and agenda. Many applications take longer if the Committee requires amendments / revisions or additional material. Important: If your application is received after the next meeting’s agenda has been finalized and the protocols sent out for review, usually done at least a week or more prior to the meeting, your application will not be listed until the next month's agenda. This is true for new applications, renewals with or without changes, or any change within an approval period. Exempt / Expedited Review Federal guidelines allow for some research to be exempt from IRB review or eligible for expedited review. Applications / proposals that qualify for either of these catagories do not require full Committee review. Please check the section on Exempt / Expedited Review. If the research qualifies for exempt or expedited review, this will normally take about seven days if all required information and documents are provided and there are no revisions or additional information required.
