Process for the Institutional Review Board prescreening review at the university

Concisely describe the process for the Institutional Review Board  prescreening review at the university. What barriers could you face as you progress through the IRB prescreening process? *I’m doing a case study, so no full IRB is required, but I need to submit the application for the committee review and I need to follow all the steps created to protect human life and rights.

Will you need to gain IRB approval from your organization? *No (unfortunately I’m doing a case study, no implementation or clinical site) If so, what is the schedule for the organization’s IRB meetings? What is the process you will expect? If you do not need site IRB review, have you arranged to get a letter from your organization that confirms you do not need IRB approval?

What is the purpose of the IRB process, Do you find that it is important?
