Why add a second IRB?

We want to support and facilitate industry-sponsored clinical trials with tight deadlines by offering our investigators an opportunity to submit to either the commercial IRB known as CRRI or to the MCG HAC.

Why CRRI?

They were the first commercial IRB accredited by both the National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) and the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protections Programs (AAHRPP).  They have a strong ethical background and a commitment to customer service.

What About Using Other Commercial or Central IRBs?
Only HAC or CRRI may be used. Please note that a protocol may not be switched between the two IRBs. If one disapproves a study, we notify each other of that disapproval per federal regulations.
