How long does it take to complete the review process?
You should allow at least four to six weeks from the time you submit your proposal to complete the expedited review process. If a proposal for full Board Review is conditionally approved at the Board meeting, the researcher will be asked to confirm acceptance of the approval conditions and make necessary revisions prior to final study approval. If the Review Board has more extensive questions or concerns about the proposed research, the proposal likely will be deferred pending submission of a revised proposal or additional information. If a proposal is deferred, it must be reconsidered at a subsequent Board meeting. Allow at least eight to ten weeks from the time you submit the proposal to complete the full Board Review process, and longer if the response to initial review issues must go back through a subsequent Board meeting.
The initial review process takes about two weeks. For the purpose of planning it is important to remember that if the committee requests modifications or responses from you regarding your proposal, review will continue beyond the initial period until it is complete. You should plan for a review that may take 2-4 weeks.
