How (and When) Will I know that a Protocol has been Approved?
Expedited Category Review | What is Expedited Review | What are the Criteria | What is the definition of minimal risk | Who decides whether or not a project has “minimal risk” | What Research Categories fall under Expedited Category Review | What is the application process | How will I know that a Protocol has been approved | Who receives these IRB Action Notices | What happens if my Expedited Review does not qualify
Once a protocol has been reviewed and approved, a formal written notice of approval will be sent to the Principal Investigator.
As soon as the project is approved as “Expedited”, a Letter of Approval along with a Board Action from the IRB Chair will be sent to the Principal Investigator. This notice may also specify the terms and conditions of the approval, as well as the continuing review period (6 months, 12 months, etc.)
