Common questions
Who can create an account?
Principal Investigators and named team members of a study submitted to the Board.
How long does a review take?
Exempt studies are usually faster, since there is no reviewer round. For other studies it depends on how many feedback rounds are needed; replying quickly keeps it short.
Do I need approval for a study using old records?
Yes. Studies using existing records or stored samples also need clearance, though many qualify as exempt.
Can I start before I get the certificate?
No. Recruitment and data collection may begin only after you receive the certificate.
