Chesapeake IRB and its Canadian affiliate, IRB Services, have been in business since 1993. They have established a reputation for excellence that is based on quality work, efficient processes and excellent customer service. Chesapeake IRBs schedule of 5 weekly meetings, daily expedited review capability, 4 day turnaround for protocols and 24-hour turnaround for Principal Investigators (PIs) has helped our clients become more competitive for industry sponsored studies; including Phase I research. While the majority of our studies are biomedical or device related, we have a broad range of social/behavioral studies that are often government or foundation funded. We work with you as a risk mitigation partner to meet your needs. Our 24X7, secure, web based 21 CFR Part 11 compliant IRB platform (CIRBI) provides you full visibility into all of your studies at any time. Unlike a "portal", all of the history, including communications with the IRB and IRB staff is captured in our system, providing audit support which has been used by many sponsors and FDA during routine audits of our compliance with the federal regulations. We assign a dedicated coordinator to each of our clients to ensure your requirements are handled in an efficient and timely manner. We augment that person with a backup coordinator, a live receptionist and a staffed help desk that is manned by IRB professionals (8 am- 8 pm ET).
