How long does a review take? Exempt and expedited reviews usually take two to three weeks. Full-board reviews follow the meeting calendar.
Does my study need review? Any research that collects data from or about living people, or uses identifiable records or samples, needs review or an exemption decision from the committee.
How long is an approval valid? One year. Submit a continuing review at least 30 days before it expires; the system reminds you.
Who can see my submission? Only your study team, the office, the reviewers assigned to it and the committee chair.
