The Auburn University Human Research Protection Program (AU HRPP) includes one convened Institutional Review Board (IRB). The convened IRB reviews health science related submissions as well as social and behavioral submissions from any college, school, or department.
The process to submit for IRB review is dependent on the type of submission. Please consult HRP-103 Investigator Manual for more information.
Meetings of the convened IRB
The Convened IRB generally meets on the third Wednesday of every month. The agenda is sent to IRB members two weeks prior to the scheduled meeting and all submissions that are review-ready will be included on the agenda. This process aligns with regulatory requirements to give IRB members sufficient time to review materials in advance of IRB meetings. This increases efficiency for submissions reviewed at IRB meetings because the IRB will receive complete submissions that have received a thorough pre-review prior to reviewing at convened meeting. The IRB office staff will assess review readiness for each submission to determine whether it can be included on the next available meeting agenda. IRB staff will work with study teams to get submissions in a review-ready state before adding to IRB meeting agendas.
