The IRB handles a number of different types of applications.
If you’ve never submitted an application to the University of Utah IRB before, please review our New Investigator Toolkit.

Continuing Review Applications
Continuing Review (CR) Applications are also referred to as Renewals. Federal regulations require that many studies are reviewed at least annually, so research that is initiated, funded, or supported by the U.S. Government is reviewed on at least an annual basis.

Amendment Applications
An Amendment (AM) Application is used to request approval of any change to the currently-approved protocol and/or consent process. These are only considered after a study has received initial review and approval as a new study.
