IRB Winter Break

The Office of Research Support & Compliance will be closed for winter break on December 23, 2019 and will re-open on January 6, 2020.

Please contact the IRB staff with questions.

If you need to report an unanticipated problem to the IRB or if you have an emergency use request, please call the IRB helpline at 512-232-1543 and leave a detailed voicemail along with your contact information. The IRB staff will be monitoring the voicemail and will return any calls reporting UPs or emergency use requests as appropriate.

Should a situation arise for the emergency use of an unapproved drug, biologic, or device, please consult the IRB’s Policies and Procedures, Section 27.3. Please note, prior notification to the IRB is not required; however, a 5-day follow-up report after use must be submitted for review. Additional information regarding emergency use can be found here https://utexas.box.com/v/EmergentUseRequest.
