IRB Policy & Procedure Manual

The Marymount University IRB Policy & Procedure Manual has been revised, with the new version approved on August 15, 2025. To help our research community understand and implement these updates, we’ve created a comprehensive comparison chart that highlights all changes from the 2024 manual.

The table provides a section-by-section breakdown of all modifications, additions, and new requirements in the 2025 manual. The chart also includes page references for both versions, detailed change summaries, and highlights key compliance deadlines. Please review the changes carefully, particularly those marked as critical, to ensure your research remains compliant with current IRB policies.
