  • Industry-Sponsored Projects are reviewed by an IRB external to the University of Iowa,
  • Industry-Sponsored Studies reviewed by the University of Iowa Biomedical IRB-01,
  • Industry-Sponsored Studies reviewed by the VAHCS IRB-03.  

IRB Fees for grants or IRB applications submitted prior to November 1, 2025 are outlined in detail in the fee schedule issued by Dr. J. Martin Scholtz, Vice President for Research. These fees have been in effect since FY22.
