Increase in One-Time Fee to Industry Sponsors of Clinical Trials

Budgets for commercial, industry-funded clinical trial projects should include a one-time fee of $3,000, listed as "IRB Review Fee". The recent increase in the one-time fee for initial IRB review was implemented as a result of increased administrative and procedural compliance requirements. The current rate remains in line with national standards. For additional information see the IRB FAQ at |www.research.uky.edu/ori/humanFAQ&answers.htm#fee
