The Institutional Review Board (IRB) reviews all human subjects research conducted by UWM faculty, staff, and students.

All submissions (new studies, amendments, continuing reviews, and determination forms) are reviewed in the order in which they were received. IRB office reviews are currently taking approximately 5-8 business days (1-1.5 weeks) from the date of submission. After that, your submission may be: 1) sent to a reviewer; 2) returned to you for revisions; or 3) approved.
