Hi Marte: Speaking as chair of our IRB, it would seem to me that an innocuous survey should go under exempt status, and should have an extremely quick turn around time! I am not sure why you would need even more than an expedited status to your review.....check the federal guidelines at http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/humansubjects/guidance/45CFR46.htm and make a case to your IRB that it should be categorized as exempt by federal guidelines, which should be good enough for a local IRB, I would think???????
