frrree2 Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), including our private independent institutional review board, exist to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects. Researchers must respect and protect the rights and welfare of individuals recruited for, or participating in research. Solutions IRB provides support to novice and experienced researchers during the submission and review process; our quick response time saves you time and money. We do this while also ensuring a quality review in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations. The HHS regulations 45 CFR part 46, subpart E, require all IRBs, including commercial IRBs to register with HHS if they review human subjects research conducted or supported by HHS and are to be designated under an assurance of compliance approved for federalwide use (i.e, an FWA) by OHRP. Our registration can be accessed at: (http://ohrp.cit.nih.gov/search/IrbDtl.aspx). In addition to reviewing your study for the ethical issues associated with the study, our team can also provide additional consultation services. These IRB services include a complementary 15 minute IRB consultation (additional time available for a fee), scientific merit review, translation services, informed consent preparation or full protocol evaluation. Are you a novice independent researcher? Our complementary consultation identifies areas for improvement and potential solutions.
 

We offer competitive rates and timely reviews of all studies. Exempt and expedited submissions are reviewed within 24 hours. Studies requiring review by the full committee will be reviewed within 48-72 hours.
