Institutional Review Board

FEE SCHEDULE


It is the policy of LSUHSC-NO to charge for IRB review of industry-sponsored studies as a mechanism to support the administrative costs of such reviews. Such fees typically do not apply to clinical research supported by federal grants. Relying sites should include such costs in their portion of the grant budget.
