Your
contract with the study sponsor should provide for WIRB®
fees. As a result, you should have provisions for not only the
initial fees, but ongoing fees as well (amendments, annual reviews,
PI changes, etc). For example, WIRB® currently charges $1,700.00
just to start the study. Contact the UF IRB office for the current
price list. Note: when establishing your contract with your
sponsor you can either budget a flat dollar amount in anticipation
that it will cover all WIRB costs. However we advise to word
the contract such that the sponsor is responsible for all WIRB
fees (without an upper limit). Projects can take longer than
expected, may require more revisions than expected, and/or WIRB prices can increase over time. A flat sum budgeted for IRB
related costs can easily be exceeded before the study is completed since
WIRB charges for all submissions. In addition, WIRB will also write the informed consent form in UF's special Informed Consent template for a fee. We recommend insuring that your contract specifies that the sponsor will pay for this service.
WIRB has two different Fee Schedules. The Fee Schedule 1 below is for all studies *except Phase I*. Phase I studies are reviewed by a more specialized panel at WIRB and have slightly higher fees, as listed under Fee Schedule 2.
