In compliance with the consensus reached at the Centralized (c-IRB) Primary Reviewer Consensus Meeting convened by the Ministry of Health and Welfare on April 28, 2026, TMU-JIRB has revised its Review Fee

Guidelines to reasonably reflect the operational costs of ethical review and administration.

The revised Fees Guidelines were approved by the university on September 29, 2026 and will officially take effect on January 1, 2027.

Transitional Payment Provision:
The updated fee schedule applies to all submissions starting January 1, 2027. For applications or reports with payment forms generated prior to January 1, 2027 (currently in payment processing), review fees will continue to be assessed under the previous fee schedule approved on September 24, 2024.

The full text of the revised guidelines is available on the Review Fee Payment Guidelines page.
