Rush Review Request Form
The Office of Human Research (OHR) is experiencing a larger-than-normal volume of submissions and modifications as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, investigators can expect 4-6 weeks for review of any type of submission once it has been assigned to an analyst.
Requesting a Rush Review
OHR is currently prioritizing the review of submissions due to:
- funding deadlines;
- graduation requirements/deadlines; and
- COVID-19 Essential Research, i.e. a primary focus on COVID-19 and offers the potential of direct benefit to research subjects or society.
To request a rush review, please complete the Rush Review Request Form (DOC) to outline the relevant details and deadlines.
If you have a request for rush review that is not covered by the exceptions above, such as a deadline for data collection, please send a detailed email to [email protected] that describes the specific need as well as any relevant deadline or timeline.
In all requests for a rush review, the more information applicants can provide up front, the better OHR staff will be able to respond and manage its volume of submissions.
