Compass IRB.  Pointing you in the right direction!
 

As a Board, we’ve been charged with reviewing research involving human subjects. The members of our Board take this responsibility very seriously. We pledge to you that we diligently apply all applicable federal regulations when we make our decisions. Additionally, we always follow the principals outlined in the Belmont Report, Respect for Persons, Beneficence and Justice.

We take special care and attention with the Informed Consent document for your study. We take personally the statement from the Nuremberg Code that reads: “The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.” We take on this responsibility because we place the utmost importance on subject safety and expect that you will do the same.

We promise we will never compromise when protecting human subjects and expect the same from the individuals we collaborate with.

Strict adherence to Federal Regulations will be our starting point and we will always strive to exceed the expectations of an IRB.

If you ever have any questions regarding how to protect your subjects and/or how a regulation applies to you please always feel free to contact us.
