As the largest organization for the ethical and regulatory oversight of research, we see our role in the clinical research infrastructure as facilitating the conduct of scientifically rigorous, ethically conducted clinical research. We want this to be a resource that helps you to design and conduct that research. We look forward to working on this project together.
Our experts, with decades of experience and a deep knowledge of regulations, ethics, and research best practices, will answer anything related to research ethics and research oversight including institutional review board operations, practice and regulations. We post the questions (anonymized) and answers on our website, as a resource for our industry.
