IRB Fees

In line with most other academic medical centers and universities, the Office of Regulatory Affairs and the IRB charges an initial submission and an annual continuing review fee for commercial and industry sponsored protocols.

New Pricing Guidelines (effective for protocols created on 11/1/2025 and after)


The fee increase applies to only new studies submitted on or after November 1.

There is a change coming to our Commercial IRB review Fee schedule. This will add additional fees for Amendments and Study Closures for commercially funded studies only (see below).
