On January 15, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) issued final rules mandating new or expanded registration of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs).  The rules are effective July 14, 2009, however, IRBs have until September 14, 2009 to complete initial registration.  The Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) IRB registration system will be compatible with the requirements of both OHRP and FDA regulations.
