How do you handle a slow/dense IRB?

Post Body

I teach in a psychology subset. Work at a relatively small university. I study depression and suicidality.

Or...I try to.

Each time I submit an IRB proposal I want to yank out my teeth with the comments the committee has or reasons for disapproving the research:

For example: Survey I propose is estimated to take 10-15 minutes. IRB says it took them 45 mins to an hour. (Finally get approval, collect over 200 participants, not a single participant took over 12 minutes).

So, seriously. Do I just need to vent and go punch things? Or are all IRBs like this?
