IRB Meetings and Submission Deadlines

 

Exempt and Expedited applications (studies with minimal risk) can be submitted via the Cayuse IRB online submission website at any time.   Note: This will be approximately a 15 day turnaround time.

Full Board applications including new, continuing reviews and amendments (more than minimal risk) are reviewed on the dates below when a quorum is present. 

A full committee review is required when:

• Projects involve minors (except where only standardized or educational tests  are being administered);
• More than minimal risk to subjects is involved (CSUF IRB includes exercise studies and/or studies where blood will be drawn from subjects);
• Subjects are mentally and/or physically challenged;
• Prisoners as subjects; and/or
• Research is of controversial nature.

Remember: Official determination of full committee review is made AFTER the application has been received and reviewed.
