This section provides links to guidelines, requirements, and supporting forms for conducting reviews. Guidelines and requirements are yoked to the kind of review and type of reviewer. Reviewers are broadly distinguished by whether or not they are IRB voting members. Whereas IRB voting members may be a reviewer for any type of research proposal submitted to the IRB, other reviewers are limited to reviewing requests for exemption from IRB review.
Reviewers of exempt research are further differentiated by whether they are decentral reviewers or IRB-certified reviewers.
