IRB Review The typical progression of a submission through the IRB application process begins when the Principal Investigator submits the study protocol in iRIS. Pending state Several pre-IRB steps occur: Required signatures are collected electronically (PI, Department Chair, other applicable signatures) Education and Training Certifications are verified Application is reviewed by the Conflict of Interest Committee Received by the IRB An IRB analyst audits the application to ensure all regulatory requirements have been met Returned for Stipulations IF all regulatory requirements have not been met, the PI will receive a notice of stipulation through iRIS, which must be addressed and submitted. Formal IRB Review If/Once all regulatory requirements have been met, the submission is assigned to a member of the Einstein IRB for formal IRB review. The Einstein IRB strives to maintain an application process that is timely and efficient. IRB Committees & Meetings
