*This table reflects routinely scheduled meeting dates; however, Castle IRB can convene additional meetings as needed. Submissions must be received the Monday before the following week’s Wednesday board meeting, and the Wednesday before the following week’s Friday board meeting. Turnaround time: 10 business days or less from study submission to IRB review and determination letter distribution.

Expedited Reviews, Exempt Reviews, Human Subjects Research Determinations, and Generic Material Reviews have no submission deadlines and are reviewed upon receipt. Single Patient Expanded Access Applications may be reviewed outside of a convened Full Board Meeting. However, if a Single Patient Expanded Access application requires Full Board review, Sabai IRB Services is sensitive to the urgency of the situation when scheduling the application for review.
