As a Site conducting a research trial for a Sponsor, you have many aspects to manage. One of your most critical tasks is the submission to the IRB; Compass IRB has first hand experience with this, as several of our staff members have come from the "site world." We understand the complexities of running a clinical research site and have tried to ensure that your experience will be a positive experience.

As a site, after your initial approval, you will most certainly have a need to submit additional materials to the IRB. Compass IRB realizes that you will want accurate documentation back in a timely manner; we see this as an essential task in our goal to ensure that subjects are protected by having access to the most up to date, accurate information regarding their participation in your research trial. Therefore, Compass IRB promises to do everything we can to get you professional and accurate documents as promptly as possible.

At Compass IRB we have established Four Points of Success. Similar to a standard compass that has four main points (North / South / East / West), by concentrating on these four key deliverables you can rest assured that you are in good hands at Compass IRB

How the Four Points of Success apply to you:

Now

We understand that it is imperative that you get up and running as quickly as possible. We have tailored our submission process to allow for rapid submission and timely turn around of all your submissions, this way you always know what the status is of your submissions. Whether it is the initial review of your site or a protocol amendment or eventually your close-out report, Compass IRB recognizes that you need to KNOW what is happening. Our promise is to keep you in the know NOW, with regard to all aspects of your site. We will accomplish this through means ranging from online tracking to e-mail updates, thus allowing you to always be able to make contact and get the update you need.

Subjects

The protection of human subjects is our reason for being. Compass IRB views itself as an extension of you, those dealing with the subjects directly. WE ARE A TEAM! You can rely on Compass IRB to always conduct a thorough and complete review of all submissions pertaining to your study. Through strict adherence to Federal Regulations and our internal system designed to ensure a complete and quality review, you can count on your teammate to always protect your subjects.

Ethics

Compass IRB will NEVER compromise when protecting human subjects. The Federal Regulations are the starting point and we will only move the bar higher, never lower!

Worry Free

We want your IRB experience to be the furthest from your worries. By creating our company to the highest standards and maintaining a competent staff, all your submissions will be handled accurately and professionally. Our staff understands what happens at a site. Many of us have been in your shoes. Our Board is dedicated to providing an ethical and timely review through what we feel is the most detailed review process in the industry; you will always have a worry-free experience with Compass IRB.
