IRB Submissions
The Auburn University Human Research Protection Program (AU HRPP) includes one convened Institutional Review Board (IRB). The convened IRB reviews health science related submissions and submissions from health science related disciplines and social and behavioral submissions from any college, school, or department.
The process to submit for IRB review is the same regardless of the level of review (Convened IRB, Expedited process, and Exempt from certain federal regulations) or type of submission (renewal, modification, other).
Meetings of the convened IRB
The Convened IRB meets on the third Wednesday of every month. The deadline for submissions is the last Wednesday of the month preceding the meeting for which the protocol is submitted for review. Only university holidays or other unusual circumstances cause meeting dates to change from the third Wednesday; if a change is needed, the meeting of the convened IRB will be scheduled for the second Wednesday of the month.
