Do you wish the IRB could review clinical studies more quickly? Are you frustrated when your study cannot be placed on an earlier meeting? Do you wonder what on earth we do and why we ask for all of those changes? Are you interested in research ethics and how they are applied at Emory?
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, please consider volunteering with the IRB! Studies can only be reviewed if volunteers, with adequate expertise, are in attendance at our meetings. For this reason, the review of some studies are postponed if our volunteers do not possess ample expertise. We specifically need volunteers who are MDs with specialties from all areas. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to us at IRB@emory.edu.
