IRB meeting dates and deadlines for studies requiring full board review

The Human Research Protection Program supports the Texas A&M University Institutional Research Board (IRB) and the Texas A&M University College of Dentistry IRB. More than minimal risk studies requiring full board review can be submitted anytime during the published submission window. Assignment to an agenda is not automatic and may vary depending on the quality and completeness of the submission, complexity of the project, required ancillary reviews and responsiveness of principal investigators to clarifications.

Studies that involve minimal risk are eligible for expedited or exempt review and can be submitted at any time. For questions regarding the risk-level of a study, contact your IRB Coordinator.
