All applications to be reviewed by the IBC must go through a Pre-Committee Review. Responses to the Pre-Review comments must be received prior to submission to the IBC. If the Pre-Review comments are not incorporated or addressed in your application, the protocol will not be reviewed by the Committee. Please submit your application early to allow for this Pre-Review process to take place prior to the submission deadline.
IBC meetings are open to the public and investigators are encouraged to attend the meeting when their submissions are discussed. If you would like to attend the meeting or have any questions about when your BUA will be reviewed by the IBC, contact the IBC administrative staff at ibc@research.ucla.edu.
