Committee Meetings

IBC meetings are held in the morning of the last Thursday of each month.

  • ORICS contacts and invites to attend those PIs whose protocols will be reviewed at a full committee meeting.
  • PIs are not required to attend, but coming to the meeting facilitates the review process and results in faster turnaround times in many cases.
  • PIs who cannot attend are encouraged to send a representative or designee to give an overview of the project and answer questions from committee members.
