HUMAN SUBJECTS COMMITTEE FEE SCHEDULE

 

 

Application Fees

Application fees will be charged only for those research proposals that are funded by industry.
These fees are for HSC review only; the payment of these fees is entirely separate from the
decisions made regarding the proposed research. The payment of these fees will not influence
the HSC review of research proposals. Fees will be refunded only if the research proposal is
withdrawn prior to its review by the HSC. Fees will not be refunded if the HSC reviews the
research proposal and either does not approve it or requires modifications.

The fee schedule is as follows:
• Initial Review $1,500
• Renewals (if a meeting of the full board is required) $500
• Modifications (if a meeting of the full board is required) $500

If a proposed research project is only partly funded by industry, then these fees may be prorated
according to the proportion of the study’s funding that is provided by industry.
Fees should be paid when the proposal is submitted for review. Checks should be made out to
“ISU Human Subjects Committee.”

The HSC Chair may, at his or her discretion, waive all or part of these fees when warranted
by the situation. PIs may request fee waivers or reductions. These requests must be made in
writing, addressed to the HSC Chair, providing supporting reasons for the request. The HSC
Chair will respond in writing to all such requests. All these documents will be included in the
study’s HSC file.

Fees paid to the HSC will be placed in a local University account, to be managed by the HSC
Chair. These funds are to be used to defray some of the expenses of running the HSC, but
should not be regarded as diminishing the Office of Research’s responsibility to fund and
otherwise support this committee adequately.
