Exempt determinations do not expire; this process does not apply to Exempt research.Ìý
Non-exempt research is approved for one year or less, depending on the level of risk. To maintain IRB Approval, investigators will submit an annual review to the IRB. Minimal risk research usually requires a Check-in (with a few exceptions) and more than minimal risk research requires a Continuing Review. eRA automatically generates the appropriate form for your research.
IRB Approval letters include the IRB Approval dates and the date in which the Continuing Review or Check-in should be submitted to the IRB. This is 90 days prior to the expiration date for Continuing Reviews and 30 days prior to the expiration date for Check-ins.
ºÚÁϳԹÏ's IRB Office will send out a reminder email before the protocol’s expiration date; however, it is the investigator’s responsibility to monitor approval/expiration dates to ensure the IRB approval does not expire.
