• Non–funded Investigator initiated studies

IRB Fees Waiver Request:

If a PI feels the IRB review fee imposes an undue hardship, they may submit a written request to waive the fee. A waiver will be considered when funding is limited, and the fee will impede the conduct of the clinical research study. The waiver request may be approved or disapproved by the IRB.  The waiver request must contain the following information for consideration:

1. A summary of the study objectives and procedures
2. The final clinical study budget summary
3. Justification for the waiver of the fees for IRB review
