Review Process

The IBC meets the second Tuesday of each month to review applications, renewals, and major modifications. A complete application must be submitted by noon the Tuesday before the meeting date in order to be reviewed at the monthly meeting.

If an application is returned to the PI because it is incomplete or the committee has questions, the PI has 45 days to respond. If the IBC does not receive a response within 45 days of the initial request, the application will be administratively closed and the PI must resubmit the application and signature page.
