w88 slot Recommendations
The following are suggestions for use of w88 slot recommendations. Actual recommendations vary by w88 slot and circumstances but commonly correlate with the review types available in IRBNet.

This recommendation is reserved for projects/packages that do not require assessment of w88 slot criteria for approval; generally, applies to projects/packages assessed by Administrative w88 slot by w88 slot Integrity & Security staff, or the IRB chair or designated IRB member.
Approve
This w88 slot applies to w88 slot or Expedited w88 slot of new projects, and continuing review and amendment packages when the primary/expedited w88 slot confirms the criteria for IRB approval have been met without the need for subsequent revisions.
Approve with Conditions
This w88 slot applies to w88 slot or Expedited w88 slot of new projects, and continuing review and amendment packages when the primary/expedited w88 slot confirms the criteria for IRB approval have or will be met following review and approval of minor revisions or directed changes.

Defer

This recommendation is selected when an IRB-member w88 slot or Research Integrity & Security staff determine:
- The proposed activity, program, or project does not constitute w88 slot as defined in the regulations at 45 CFR 46.102, item (l);

This recommendation applies when the IRB Chair or designee (as a preliminary determination) or the convened IRB determines a problem report warrants termination of an approved w88 slot study.
Documentation of w88 slot Recommendations
For New Projects, the Primary or Expedited w88 slot completes the New Project Review Worksheet and all applicable supplemental worksheets (e.g., federal agency requirements, vulnerable populations, drugs, devices, blood, and consent waivers).
For continuing and amendment reviews, the Primary or Expedited w88 slot completes the correlated review worksheet (i.e., Continuing Review Worksheet or Amendment Review Worksheet). Expedited Reviewers may be asked to complete supplemental worksheets if amendments involve changes to funding, populations, drugs, devices, blood, or informed consent.
After reviewing the materials in the relevant project/package, the Primary/Expedited w88 slot finalizes documentation of completed reviews.
See the Human w88 slot Protection Program (HRPP) Policy Manual for more information about review materials and worksheets.
