The Dermatology Review Panel has successfully undergone an ethics review of
our process.
This review was conducted by the Institutional Review Board Services (IRBS)
was founded in 1993 in response to a perceived need for a mechanism to
expedite Ethics Reviews of proposed clinical research in Canada and other
countries. Quick turnaround times and reviews that can withstand the
scrutiny of regulatory bodies are the core of the company's mission. As a
result, this company has developed a reputation for reviews that are
thorough, fair, precise and timely.
Institutional Review Board Services is a stand-alone entity not founded by
or related to any SMO, CRO, investigator or manufacturer. Committee members
are compensated on a consulting basis, irrespective of an affirmative or
negative opinion about any research proposal. None of the voting members
holds any other financial or other vested interest in the company whatsoever
for reviews, not approvals - there is no guarantee that any research
proposal will be approved if found not to meet standards. Furthermore, as
Institutional Review Board Services (IRBS) is an independent company that
does no contract research, or conduct clinical research, nor is an offshoot
of any company or entity that does, it has no financial interest in research
projects it is asked to review - all reviews are strictly at arms length.
