Types of IRB Review

1. Full Committee review: including new studies that involve more than minimal risk; use of new drugs, investigational devices, drug-sponsored studies, etc.


2. Expedited review: studies involving no more than minimal risk (final determination of whether the study qualifies as "expedited" is made by the IRB Chair).


3. Exemption from IRB Review: studies with minimum to no risk that meet at least one of six eligible categories of research.
