IRB fee schedule for industry/for-profit sponsored/research

Wayne State University charges for Institutional Review Board reviews of research studies supported by industry and for-profit entities.

Following a review of fees charged by other universities and fair market value analysis, Wayne State University increased its fees for the review and oversight of Human Participant Research studies supported by industry and for-profit entities effective July 1, 2021. All industry/for profit-sponsored protocols submitted on or after July 1, 2021 will be subject to the new rates. The new rates are listed below.

Investigators submitting industry/for profit-sponsored research protocols are required to include the cost of initial protocol review, continuing review, and sponsored initiated full-board amendments requiring IRB review in the study budget.

Because the IRB commits it full resources to each review, the fees are due in full even if the IRB does not approve the study, participants are never enrolled, a research contract is never executed, or the study is terminated before objectives are reached. IRB fees are non-refundable. Fees for continuing review will be collected until a Closure form is received by the IRB office.
