SITE IDENTIFICATION
We help identify potential sites for your trial. Our team assesses the demographics, past history and the current staff expertise at each site before presenting them to sponsors and CROs. BRANY provides investigators from our hundreds of board-certified physicians from premier academic medical institutions and experienced clinical sites. Many of our investigators are "thought leaders" in their field. We have over 200 hospitals, medical schools and dedicated research sites in our network of affiliates. Give us a synopsis and within 24 hours, we'll have some excellent choices for you. Best of all, these sites can use ONE IRB, ONE BUDGET and ONE CONTRACT. There is no fee for this service.

IRB SERVICES
Our Central/Independent IRB is unique in that members from leading academic centers serve as the members of the IRB.

• Every investigator audited at least once to assess GCP compliance at no extra charge
• We can perform IRB review for any site that is able to use a central IRB and all academic sites able to use the BRANY IRB
• We combine the expertise of academics with the efficiency of a central board
• Our IRB meets weekly or more often as needed
• All Protected class and recombinant DNA/gene transfer trials audited for compliance as part of our routine service
• Auditors train the staff on-site making the audit an educational experience
• Notification of IRB decisions within 2 days of the meeting
• Approvals include modified approved consent forms and redlined versions

IBC Services
Unique in the nation, our affiliates send representation to an independent biosafety committee to review recombinant DNA/gene transfer research. Our core committee is composed of chairs and biosafety officers from academic centers. With this mechanism and without sacrificing scrupulous oversight safety, a trial involving recombinant DNA/gene transfer may be started much more expeditiously than in the past.

AUDITING AND MONITORING SERVICES
Our auditors are experienced in reviewing SOP's and auditing research for compliance with GCP, FDA, ICH and OHRP regulations. We perform monitoring and auditing services for sponsors and CROs.

MONITORING
We can supply supplemental monitoring for CROs, sponsors and investigator sponsors. Our monitors are CCRAs, clinically oriented; and include MDs and RNs. East Coast regional monitors are available to assist sponsors and CROs. We can supplement your staff and decrease travel time and cost. We also supply medical monitoring by expert researchers.

EDUCATION
The BRANY Institute for Research Education offers a variety of educational training programs to aid clinical research professionals by promoting Good Clinical Practice.
