Investment Review Board (IRB)

The Investment Review Board, or IRB (formerly the CITRB), provides oversight, review, and advice to the Secretary and Deputy Secretary on both IT and non-IT investments that meet certain criteria.  This advice includes recommendations for approval or disapproval of funding for new systems/investments, or major modifications to existing systems/investments.  The IRB also makes recommendations for continuing, modifying, or terminating existing systems or investments based on performance, cost, or schedule criteria.
