University of Delaware Institutional Review Board, IRB, full board meetings are held monthly and IRB Submissions are due by 4pm to IRBNet 12days prior (or 2 Fridays before) the monthly meeting. Generally, full board meetings will be at noon on the third Wednesday of each month. Protocols will be accepted for review in the order received. If the board is not able to review a protocol in a particular month, it will be given priority for review in the following month. IRB submissions are due via IRBNet by 4:00 PM on August 9, 2024 for the August 21, 2024 IRB meeting.

The only submissions subject to these monthly deadlines are those that may be considered “more than minimal risk” or require a full board review.  All other submissions (exempt, expedited, etc) are reviewed on a rolling basis.
