Exempt Research:
University policy requires that an Institutional Review Board (IRB) must review human research projects prior to the start of the research. Undergraduate students who wish to engage in faculty mentored exempt research through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) may now use the Exempt Self-Determination Tool.
In addition, for all UCI researchers, the Exempt Self-Determination Tool has now been expanded to allow Exempt category # 4. There are some exceptions. Review the HRP webpage (for UROP undergraduates) (for Exempt researchers) for more information.

COVID-19
We are in Phase 3 research. Refer to the Office of Research webpage on Research Continuity for more details.
In addition, effective immediately, the IRB will only prioritize the review of Covid-19 treatment protocols.
The Human Research Protections index page is a single portal to resources, expertise and best practices for researchers, participants, IRB members, IRB partners and affiliates.
