The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a notice reminding the extramural research community that certification of Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is required before award for nonexempt human subjects research. Funds cannot be used for such research without this certification, which must be the date of final IRB approval, not pending or expired.
