Expiration

Category: Proposals and Reviews

What happens when my approved project reaches the one year expiration date?

If IRB approval of the research proposal expires, all study procedures related to the proposal must cease, including recruitment, advertisement, screening, enrollment, consent, interventions, interactions, and collection of private identifiable information. Continuing research procedures is a violation of federal regulations. You will need to complete a Continuing Review/Revision Form and receive continued approval from the IRB in order to continue research.
