Meetings & Deadlines

IRB Deadline & Meeting Dates

New applications and other submissions received by 4:30 the day of the deadline will go to the next scheduled committee meeting. Due to volume constraints and committee member availability, some submissions and applications may be assigned to the subsequent committee meeting.

Committee Review Reassignments

The IRB attempts to maintain members that represent the span of research conducted at the University of Minnesota. However, the nature of research examines many novel or tangential issues which can be outside an individual committee's expertise. If your study question is outside the given scientific background of the committee, it could be reassigned to a more suitable committee for review. You will be notified of any such event.
