FEE SCHEDULE


It is the policy of LSUHSC-NO to charge for IRB review of industry-sponsored studies as a mechanism to support the administrative costs of such reviews. Such fees typically do not apply to clinical research supported by federal grants. However, non-LSUHSC-NO sites in federally sponsored multicenter clinical research studies for which the LSUHSC-NO IRB has agreed to provide oversight as the Single IRB of record are also charged fees to cover costs that would not otherwise be incurred. Relying sites should include such costs in their portion of the grant budget.
