There will be no IRB meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 30, a fifth Tuesday. The IRB only meets on the first four Tuesdays of the month. Please keep that “missing” week in mind if you are facing deadlines for approvals and continuing review renewals. Also, remember that the campus will be closed for much of the previous week for the Christmas holiday, although the IRB is planning to meet on December 23. These scheduling issues may have an impact on your submission timing, so please keep the calendar in mind when planning submissions.
