IRB application submissions for approval

Submit IRB applications early to allow time for review. Each category of review has time periods built in to allow the IRB the opportunity to provide guidance and approval for your study. GO to http://www.umbc.edu/research/HARPO/IRB/IRBprotdevelop.html#submit for the schedule.
