Fees for JHM IRB Review

June 2021

The JHM IRB charges review fees for commercially funded studies with financial support in excess of $10,000. Based on when a study was submitted it is subject to the following IRB Fees. To ensure each department is treated fairly and to increase overall efficiency, we continue to require each department to specify a non-sponsored account for billing IRB review fees. All IRB review fees for principal investigators in that department will be billed against that account until it is determined that a study specific Internal Order number has been assigned to the reviewed study.

Initial Applications submitted on or after 7/1/2021 will be subject to the following fee schedule: 

For more information see the 2021 memo from the Vice Dean for Clinical Investigations.

To help investigators seeking single IRB (sIRB) review services from the JHM IRB in planning their budgets, we have posted a fee schedule for sIRB review.

This fee schedule reflects the JHM IRB fee rate for sIRB review that will be applied to all new requests for sIRB services approved on or after 7/1/2021. Each request for sIRB services must be submitted to the JHM IRB via a reliance request. A study specific budget will be prepared for each reliance request that is approved.
