Summer Protocol Submissions

Researchers may continue to submit protocols during June and July on a rolling basis. Protocols that are determined to meet exemption or expedited review criteria will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Some research activities may require full committee review, especially those that involve vulnerable populations or that may present greater than minimal risk to participants. These protocols may not be reviewed until the first CPHS meeting in August. Deadlines for full committee meetings will resume in the fall semester as noted in the table above.
