Projects that initially received an expedited or full committee approval must be reviewed periodically by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), Chair or Chair designee.  This continuing review process is necessary to renew project approval, or to officially conclude or withdraw the project from active fiiles.  Unless the researcher submits materials for the continuing review process, project approval expires and all study activities (including enrollment, data abstraction, data entry and analysis) must stop.  If continuing review materials for a project are not received in the Human Subjects Protection Program office by the expiration date, the project records are boxed and moved to storage.  If the researcher wishes to continue with the research s/he must submit a new application to the Human Subjects Protection Program office.  If you have any questions, please call the Human Subjects Protection Program office at (520) 626-5925.
