UConn has two IRB committees, IRB 1 and IRB 2, which allow us to hold two IRB meetings per month.  There are no submission deadlines for studies that require convened board review.  Submissions are assigned to the next available agenda after undergoing pre-review.

IRB Members

The IRB is composed of members of the University and local communities. The individual members contribute the professional competency necessary to review specific research activities representing a broad range of disciplines through experience and expertise in their fields. In addition, the IRB seeks diversity in race, gender and cultural backgrounds to promote sensitivity to community attitudes and respect for the rights and welfare of human subjects. If you are interested in serving on the IRB, contact the IRB Office.

Each IRB meets virtually once per month.
