UT Health Science Center charges $1500 for industry-sponsored IRB review.

The IRB office (which is separate from our office) collects the fee, unless
the company will not pay separately from the contract, in which case, it
goes into the study account.

They manage to get theirs by withholding the approval letter until they get
payment!  Seems to work.  Since it puts our office at a disadvantage (we
won't approve contracts w/o IRB approval letter), they send us a copy of the
letter with a line through it for contract purposes.  But they won't release
it to the company until they get paid.
