  • Notification of IRB decisions within 2 days of the meeting

Our Connected IRB Model helps maintain this connection by promoting communication with key stakeholders. This includes email alerts for investigators and research coordinators as well as specific alerts for critical trial concerns such as unanticipated problems involving risks to subjects or others.
