Meeting Schedule

Only non-exempt protocols are reviewed by the IRBs. Determination of this review category is made by the committee staff and chair.

In Fall 2008, the CPHS will meet on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Dr. Grace Hardie, Nursing, will chair IRB #1, and Dr. Ellen Hines, Geography, will chair IRB #2.

The CPHS will meet on the following dates:

• September 3 and 17
• October 1 and 15
• November 5 and 19
• December 3 and 17

The CPHS tries to schedule at least one meeting during the January intersession and during the summer, depending on the number of protocols to be reviewed and the number of members available to meet.

Please note that all protocols submitted to the committee go through a pre-review process and a revision cycle before being placed on a meeting agenda.

A complete packet, which includes a copy of all protocols to be reviewed, is delivered to members the week before every committee meeting, so they will have time to review them prior to the meeting. Protocols are pre-reviewed on a rolling basis, in the order in which they were recieved, and placed on an agenda when all revisions have been received and approved.
