Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) alone are not sufficient to protect research subjects. The ethical conduct of research depends on having investigators and research staff who understand their roles in protecting subjects and know how to comply with IRB requirements and safeguards.
A failure to provide adequate protections for subjects and to comply with IRB requirements can leave both subjects and investigators at risk. And that’s why the best sites know that advanced human subject protection training is another way to ensure that their site is fulfilling its ethical and regulatory responsibilities.
Whether it’s developing a standardized method of training and educating new investigators and study coordinators to learning how to distinguish unanticipated problems from serious adverse events (SAEs), HRP Consulting Group can help you enhance your subject protection efforts through training in the following areas:
- Reporting unanticipated problems and non-compliance.
- Protecting subject privacy and confidentiality.
- Proper recruitment methods.
- Fulfilling IRB consent requirements.
- Achieving efficient IRB approval.
- Record-keeping and case report form completion.
