If you do not know whether your project should be submitted as Exempt, Restricted, or Full Review, then go back to the Inside Bard IRB page and complete the diagnostic questionnaire.

Renewal requests and minor revisions to approved protocol may be reviewed by the board shortly after they are received.  All other proposals will be reviewed within two weeks of the most recent submission deadline.  Proposals submitted after the deadline will be reviewed at the NEXT scheduled meeting of the board (usually the following month).
