Closing Exempt studies
The IRB is obligated to know which research protocols are active at 日韩无码, we expect researchers to close exempt protocols with the IRB once the research activities are complete. This can be done by submitting a Researchers receive annual reminders to update the IRB on the status of the exempt research. Reminders inform the researcher that the exempt protocol will be closed after 3 years if there has been no contact with the IRB.
On September 6, 2024, the IRB will be closing all open exempt protocols approved prior to 2021. If you wish to continue working on an exempt study that is greater than three years old, please submit a continuing review indicating the research is active. Alternatively, researchers can submit a modification to their research or This will also let the IRB know the study is still active. If a protocol is closed by the IRB and the PI indicates after closure, it is still active, a new protocol will need to be submitted to allow the IRB to ensure the research is still exempt from the regulations.
