IRB Meeting & Application Submission Schedules

We recognize the need for the timely turnaround of your application. It is suggested that you apply at least 2 MONTHS prior to the start of your research for exempted or expedited review, or 3 MONTHS for full review. If you plan to graduate in a given sememster, please apply before the end of the semester PRIOR to the one in which you will graduate (i.e. before the end of the fall sememster if you are graduating in the spring). Thank you!
