The IRB is expected to meet at least every 2 months to ensure timely review of projects requiring full review. Three intercollegiate screening committees have been appointed to determine what projects meet the criteria for exemption from IRB oversight. Any one screening committee member or an IRB member may make this determination, based on a completed Exemption Request Form, a project summary, consent form and instruments. A form is available from the screening committee members and from this office for the Project Director to make a preliminary assessment of the exemptability of a project, and to apply for exemption. A person not in one of the colleges represented by the screening committees may send an exemption request to a committee member in a related field, or to Dr. Graham.
