The IRB has Streamlined Review of Exempt Research |
Have you wanted to do medical education research but have been concerned about the process to get an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval? If so, there is good news for you. Earlier this year, the UCI IRB office streamlined the process for the review of exempt research. Updates to this process include:

Accordingly, you may now find that some of your educational research projects no longer need to be reviewed by the IRB. If you determine that an IRB review is needed, the protocol narrative for exempt research has been updated to be more succinct and simplified.
