Case Study/Case Report (≤3 Cases)

If the sample size is 3 or fewer and the project is labeled as a case study, the IRB will likely determine the research as non-human subject research.

Submitting an application for an official determination is up to the PI.

For more information on case studies, please see the UT IRB guidance in case studies here under “Exempt Review.”
