About the IRB
We conduct ethics reviews for research that includes human participants. We strive to protect the rights and welfare of human research participants by ensuring compliance with state and federal laws, as well as the high ethical standards set forth in University policy.

Use of Approved, Standard Short Forms
In October 2022, the University of Utah IRB approved a policy change which allowed the IRB to grant general approval of a standard short form document. This change was intended to streamline the procedure for approval of short form documents and relieve administrative burden.

SIRB Review Fees
The University of Utah IRB will be enforcing our Single IRB Review fees policy in a new way beginning April 1, 2024. We ask that you help to share this with researchers in your department/division as we prepare to make this change in practice. For studies that cannot pay the expected Single IRB Review fees throughout the course of the study, the IRB will bill the study’s department for these fees.
