What Readers Are Saying

“I found this guide to be a very useful read, even after many years of service on a local IRB. I believe that this manual is an indispensable introductory text for anyone considering serving on the IRB.”

"I am the Chair of our IRB here and I have been on the committee for about three and a half years. There have been many, many times where the IRB has asked for small inconsequential consent form changes or looked at the safety of the researcher or third parties when considering a protocol... I think your book does a really good job of discussing how this can be accomplished."
