IRB Fees
Please note that the fees stated below may change; therefore, this should be accounted for in budget planning.
Industry Sponsored Research Heading link
The OVCR charges a processing/administrative fee for the UIC IRB review of all industry sponsored human subject research. Charging industry sponsors for their share of the costs associated with the IRB review process allows UIC to continue to provide the level of service required by our faculty. This policy is consistent with practices at the majority of research universities.
Protocol Processing Fee Structure. These fees apply only to industry sponsored research involving human subjects submitted for review by the UIC IRB. Research involving human subjects supported by federal, foundation, division, or department funds will not incur these fees. The amount of all fees will be reviewed annually by the OVCR and are subject to change.
