RSRB Fee Structure
** NEW fee structure applied prospectively as of July 1st 2021
CLICK HERE for the table of fees associated with RSRB review. The fees are broken out according to whether or not the University of Rochester RSRB will be the Reviewing IRB or the Relying IRB. *
The costs associated with IRB review must be factored into any study budget when planning the study or submitting a multi-site funding proposal for federal funding (e.g. NIH, CDC, NSF) or to a foundation when the RSRB is the Reviewing IRB. If you plan to submit a multi-site funding proposal with the RSRB as the Reviewing IRB, study teams must meet with the OHSP Director and Reliance Coordinator, well in advance of submission, to ensure adequate budgeting and monitoring. The following resources are available for your reference:
- Guideline for Single IRB Plan in an Grant Application - Revised 6/2021
- NIH Single IRB Policy for Multi-site Research
Requests to use the RSRB as the Reviewing IRB for an industry sponsored multi-site study require the same meeting to ensure adequate budgeting and monitoring. Please contact the Reliance Specialist in the RSRB Office for further information.
UR charges a one-time institutional administrative review fee for industry-sponsored studies when UR is the Relying IRB. This fee covers costs associated with the required institutional review to ensure compliance with UR and OHSP policies and local context (e.g., conflict of interest, compensation for injury, etc.). This must be factored into the budget of all industry-sponsored studies.
In rare occasions, the IRB may waive these fees, but this is considered on a study-by-study basis, and the PI must submit a request to the IRB Director with justification for waiving IRB Fees.
