NIH Scientific Review
Clinical protocols in the NIH Intramural Research Program that require IRB approval, are required to undergo scientific review at the IC level, with concurrence by the CSO for some reviews. Review timepoints include: initial protocol review, annual and quadrennial review for ongoing protocols, and at the time of any substantive modification to the protocol that poses new scientific questions or substantially alters the scientific approach. For a further details and exceptions to when annual and quadrennial review are not required, see the policy and process documents below.
