AtlantiCare IRB

The AtlantiCare Institutional Review board is a group of individuals with diverse backgrounds who are responsible for reviewing and overseeing human subject research. The IRB review process is designed to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects by ensuring the integrity of the research study, assuring adequate informed consent, assessing and minimizing risks and maintain privacy and confidentiality.  The IRB approves the study prior to its start and conducts periodic review of the research, if required.

The IRB strives to provide investigators and study teams the support and resources they need to conduct quality research and foster research practices that protect participants.
