Exempt Review
If investigators believe that their new project qualifies
for exemption, they should submit the IRB Protocol Summary Form along
with any required documentation (informed consent form, questionnaires,
advertisements, etc.) to the Office of Research Compliance.
Please note on the protocol form which exempt review
category you believe your research falls under (see below for
explanation of all 6 exempt categories). The ORC and the IRB
Chair
will determine if your project qualifies for exemption. If
you have questions, please contact the ORC.
