For Information on the new IRB Electronic Submission Process, click here

The Office of Research Subjects' Protections provides administrative support for all aspects of the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB reviews all research involving the use of human subjects at EVMS and at other designated institutions and practices. Each year, the IRB routinely reviews 250-275 new protocols and performs approximately 1,200 administrative actions related to existing protocols.

EVMS has two IRBs: the "1st Thursday" IRB and the "3rd Tuesday" IRB. The IRBs meet the first Thursday and third Tuesday of each month at 8:30 a.m. Protocols are assigned to meetings on a first come, first served basis.

Subcommittee meetings are held at 7:30 a.m.on meeting dates. The subcommittee reviews exempt and expedited studies, and reviews requests for "Not Human Subject Research" status.

EVMS has also designated the Chesapeake Research Review, Inc. (CRRI) as a third IRB for investigators to use for review of studies involving human subjects. EVMS IRB administration will determine if the protocol may be submitted to the CRRI. Contact the EVMS IRB office for more information regarding the use of CRRI.

Review Fees

The basic fee for a new protocol requiring Full (Convened) Board Review is $1,500. [This is a one time fee due as billed after the study has received Board review.]

Continuing review of a study requiring convened Full Board review is $300. [Fee due as billed after the study has received Board approval for continuation. The fee is due after each continuation decision]
