Institutional Review Board Office & Services
Accreditation
The CRC IRB is fully accredited by AAHRPP.
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a committee of scientists and non-scientists whose charge is to oversee the safety and protection of human subjects in research based on ethical guidelines, federal regulations, state laws, and institutional policies as they apply to individual research studies. The IRB staff is a team of professionals dedicated to making the IRB process seamless and efficient for Investigators on the Charles River Campus.
If you are on BU’s Medical Campus, please visit the BUMC IRB website.
We can help with…
- Initial submissions for human subjects research
