The expedited review application must be completed, as well as, the rest of the form. These projects are reviewed by only one IRB reviewer and listed on the agenda for the next meeting. The full committee does not discuss them unless a problem exists. In case of a time constraint, these projects may be sent to an IRB reviewer when received. Revisions to previously approved projects may be handled in the same manner.
Final approval follows after the convened meeting.
Notification of the need to submit the Human Subjects Review Form for Periodic Review will be sent to the investigator a month prior to the month in which annual review is to be accomplished. If the periodic review form is not received by the first of the month in which review must be accomplished, a second notice is sent. If the form is not received during the review month, the study is administratively closed. The form is completed and a copy of the current IRB-approved consent form is attached. Periodic review is sent to one IRB reviewer and listed on the agenda for the next meeting.
