December 1st, 2016

Due to new staff onboarding and training currently happening at the IRB, as well as a greater than usual amount of applications submitted in recent weeks, we are running several days behind schedule on pre-reviews for all applications.

We are unable to guarantee that your submission will be reviewed at a particular meeting or on a particular timeline.  However, if you have approval timeline concerns or requests, please contact us and we will do our best to make accommodations.

Applications will generally be assigned to a meeting date based on date of expiration, expertise available on the panel, or based on the order in which completed applications are correctly submitted to the IRB. Any dates included in review letters or on the IRB website are estimates only.

Please submit your completed revisions as early as possible, and log into ERICA frequently to check the current status and review date of your application, as it may change several times and notifications may not be automatically sent for each change. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience./p>

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 801-581-3655 or at irb@hsc.utah.edu.
