The La Verne IRB observes all university holidays and is not in operation, expected to review applications during those times or respond to emails. Moreover, the La Verne IRB goes dark with the university at the end of December – early January.
The IRB meets on the second Friday of the month to review standard review applications. Meetings are scheduled for the following months:
- February – May
- September – December
Please submit your standard review application in IRBManager at least 2 weeks before a scheduled committee meeting. Submissions received less than 2 weeks before a scheduled meeting will be reviewed at the meeting scheduled the month after the month in which the application is received. For months where a meeting is not pre-scheduled, the meeting will be scheduled a minimum of 2 weeks after the initial receipt of a standard review application.
Pre-reviews, Exempt Reviews, Expedited Reviews, and Application Help
The IRB Administration Office is open and provides full support year-round. Therefore, pre-reviews, exempt and expedited application reviews, and application preparation help are available and proceed at a similar pace as the semester. Please consult our office hours to view when they are held during the summer and before dropping by as they are subject to change on a semester-by-semester basis.
