As of July 1, 2023, the University of Virginia fee structure for industry sponsored clinical trials requiring full board IRB review.

The fee will be charged for studies for which the UVA IRB HSR is the IRB of record as well as those studies that are being conducted under a non-UVA IRB.

The fee is NOT charged for Expanded Access Protocols. Under FDA regulations (21 CFR 312.300), expanded access is the use of an investigational drug/biologic  (referred to as “test article”) outside of a clinical trial for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a serious disease or condition when there is no satisfactory alternative therapy to treat the patient’s disease or condition.

This fee ONLY applies if the Principal Investigator for the protocol is from the School of Medicine.

This fee is made after the study has been approved by the IRB-HSR Convened Full Board and the Contract office has opened an account.

This fee structure applies to all studies for which the Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) is executed on or after July 1, 2023.
