Clinical research is complicated. At WCG, we get questions about clinical research all the time— from researchers, from clinical team members at biopharma companies, from members of institutional IRBs. We know that for many of the questions we get, the person asking is not the only one struggling with that issue, and while we often write white papers to address questions we get frequently, we wanted a different, more immediate and less formal way to share information across the clinical research community.
So we created the Ask the IRB Experts forum. You can submit questions to us on anything related to research ethics and research oversight including institutional review board operations, practice and regulations. Our experts, with decades of experience and a deep knowledge of regulations, ethics, and research best practices, will answer. We’ll post the questions (anonymized) and answers on our website, so you can look through them any time for topics that are of interest to you, or just scan to see what others are asking.
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.
