Full Board Review Meetings

During a Full Board meeting, all voting IRB members discuss pending research proposals that may pose a higher risk to participants. Meetings are usually scheduled for the last Friday of every month. See below for specific meeting dates.

If you find yourself unsure whether or not your project will require Full Board Review, refer to the IRB Proposal Types Flowchart for more information. Or, contact IRB@stedwards.edu for assistance.

Research proposals that are not likely to require Full Board Review may be submitted any time during the school year. Exempt or Expedited proposals are assigned to a smaller review team and usually have a faster turnaround time.

Submission Deadlines:

Proposals that likely require a Full Board Review must be submitted through the IRB Expedited or Full Board Review Application at least fourteen (14) days in advance of a meeting date. Missing this deadline will lead to delays in your approval process.

The Full Board does not convene May-August, so April is the final deadline for Full Board proposals.
