Please be aware that there is no NYGH REB meeting in August 2025

Any submissions that require review by the Full Board in August must either be submitted by the July 1st deadline for review at the July meeting, or will need to wait until the September meeting.  Any renewals, especially for active clinical trials will need to be submitted for the July meeting if they expire before the September meeting date.  Thank you!  

*Please also allow some extra time for reviews over the summer, as there may be staff vacations impacting review timelines*

Please check expiration dates for active/ ongoing research studies

You can check a study's expiration date in ARIEL, under the 'Sites' tab--near the History tab, where you find approval letters for download.  If your study has lapsed in NYGH REB approval, please submit a continuing renewal form as soon as possible, and a reportable event form (select 'protocol deviation' as the type) if research still occurred during a lapse.  Please remember to allow enough time to renew your studies, and that renewal reminder emails are a courtesy only; the responsibility for maintaining ethical approval rests with the principal investigator.  If a study has ended, please ensure that you submit a study completion/ study closure form.  As usual, to start another form, go to the Work Area, then the 'Project Tree', and click on the 'Initial Submission' and/or the 'Ongoing Studies - Legacy Form'.  Next, click on the 'Create Sub-Form' button that will appear on the upper left.  If a project has been determined to be solely a QI project, no continuing renewals are needed.  Thanks so much!
