IBC Meetings and Minutes

Initial submissions that require full committee review are to be submitted a minimum of two weeks before the meeting date. However, the Office of Research Compliance encourages you to submit more than two weeks ahead of the next scheduled committee meeting.

Protocols to be submitted two weeks prior to the meeting date.

As of June 1, 2025, the NIH expects that approved meeting minutes from all IBC meetings occurring on or after this date will be posted publicly on an institutional website. It is NIH’s expectation that minutes will be posted immediately after approval and once all appropriate and allowable redactions have been made. Please note that the provisions of this memo only apply to meetings taking place on, or after June 1, 2025. Minutes from meetings before that date do not need to be posted but still must be provided to members of the public upon request. However, institutions may opt to voluntarily post this information in the spirit of transparency.
