An institutional review board (IRB), also known as an independent ethics committee (IEC), ethical review board (ERB), or research ethics board (REB), is a type of committee used in research in the United States that has been formally designated to approve, monitor, and review biomedical and behavioral research involving humans.
An automated email will be sent from the Cayuse IRB system to the principal investigator and the student researchers, if applicable, regarding the status of the protocol after it has been reviewed initially. The IRB can issue an approval, a request for minor revisions, a tabling of the protocol, or a disapproval of the protocol. The status of any IRB submission can be viewed by logging in to Cayuse IRB, and opening a study submission. Note that a status of Awaiting Certification requires certification by the faculty Principal Investigator (PI), and the IRB has not yet received the submission.
