What is an Institutional Review Board?

Описание: Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) play a critical role in protecting the rights, safety, and welfare of research participants. Before most clinical research can begin, studies subject to FDA regulations or the Common Rule must undergo IRB review to ensure the research is ethical, risks are minimized, and the potential benefits justify participant involvement.

IRBs provide independent ethical oversight for a wide range of research activities, from simple survey studies to complex clinical trials involving investigational drugs, medical devices, and advanced therapies. Through review of study protocols, informed consent forms, recruitment materials, and ongoing study activities, IRBs help ensure research is conducted in accordance with regulatory requirements and ethical principles.
