In-Person IRB Meetings 


Medical and Non-Medical IRB s will resume meeting in-person beginning January 2023. 


Feedback indicates that in-person discussion facilitates approval and is in the best interest of the investigators.


The invitation for investigators to attend a convened meeting will include details regarding location.


Exceptions for clinical duties, health concerns, or out-of-town travel must be made in advance by contacting the applicable ORI professional associate. 


See the IRB Member Website for meeting dates. 

Single IRB: New FAQ


A single IRB (sIRB) is when one institution engaged in human subject research agrees to be the reviewing IRB for another institution for a cooperative study. Please contact UK’s Reliance Team early if you wish to participate in a cooperative study.
