EXPEDITED REVIEW
Some research may be reviewed by a member of the IRB, if the research falls into certain categories defined by the federal government and if, in the discretion of the chair, review by the full committee is not necessary. A list of the types of research that may qualify for expedited review is provided here. For clarification contact the IRB office (520-4181). Investigators must fill out all of the forms below. Signed informed consent is required from all subjects or their legal guardians. A sample Informed Consent Statement is included to assist investigators. Continuing reviews are required for projects in this level of review. Applications at this level are reviewed weekly. Comments can be expected shortly after the weekly review.
For new expedited research studies, please submit the following forms:
- Documentation of Review and Approval
- Expedited Research Checklist
- Summary Safeguard Statement
- Informed Consent Statement, as applicable
- Supporting documents, e.g. recruitment materials, surveys, questionnaires, etc.
- Conflict of Interest (faculty should complete this on-line here; student can turn in the simpler form here)
