Research Enterprise Newsletter - August 2009: IRB News
IRB by the Numbers
While some people are enjoying summer vacations, things at the IRB haven't slowed down... in fact, they've picked up. New study submissions have remained consistent for the months of April, May, and June. However, the total number of submissions the IRB has received over the same period has jumped from the high 600s to just over 900! A three month snapshot is always available on our website.
