Full Review

Human subjects applications scheduled for full review are distributed to all members of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the meeting, along with all relevant correspondence pertaining to the application.  Additionally, the Principal Investigator will be invited to present the project to the committee.  Consultants or experts also may be invited to the meeting to advise the IRB in its review of an application.
