Minutes of Institutional Review Board Meetings: Guidance for Institutions and Institutional Review Boards; Draft Guidance; Extension of the Comment Period

Riepilogo

The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are extending the comment period for the draft guidance entitled "Minutes of Institutional Review Board (IRB) Meetings: Guidance for Institutions and IRBs." A notice of availability requesting comments on the draft guidance document appeared in the Federal Register of November 5, 2015. The Agencies are taking the initiative to extend the comment period for an additional 30 days because the timing of the due date for comments intersects with comment periods on other Federal Register documents requiring review by the same group of stakeholders. This extension will allow interested persons additional time to submit comments.
