In-House Document Review
UserWise’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a group registered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that is formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects.
In accordance with FDA regulations, the UserWise IRB has the authority to approve, require modifications (to secure approval), or disapprove research. This group review serves an important role in the protection of the rights and welfare of human research subjects for the purposes of ensuring the ethical treatment of study subjects.
By having an in-house IRB, we are able to streamline the review and approval process of study materials and documentation.
