what is irb?
Under FDA regulations, an IRB is an appropriately constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects. In accordance with FDA regulations, an IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications in (to secure approval), or disapprove research.
The type of IRB review dictates the length of time necessary for a decision. If your study is eligible for an ‘Exemption From Full Board Review’ submission, you should receive a decision within five to seven business days from the date of the receipt letter.
