ORI Guidance on the Revised Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects

The UK Office of Research Integrity (ORI) has developed a guidance document outlining plans for transitioning to/overview of the revised human subject regulations (a.k.a., “the Common Rule”).

ORI Follow up Regarding Temporary Freeze on Initial IRB Applications

Any protocol approved prior to January 20, 2019, must comply with the Current Rule and any protocol approved on or after January 21, 2019, must comply with the Revised Rule.

Nonmedical IRB Meeting Schedule Change

Starting September 2018, the Nonmedical Institutional Review Board (IRB) will be convening on a monthly basis rather than a triweekly schedule. The new schedule will provide researchers with more time between submission deadlines to prepare their applications for Full Review. This change will also allow researchers to be more proactive and to contact Office of Research Integrity (ORI) staff for questions or feedback on applications prior to IRB review.
