The Quorum Advantage

See why research organizations choose
Quorum’s Institutional Review Board IRB services.

AAHRPP accredited.

The Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs accredits high-quality human research protection programs to promote excellent, ethically sound research. AAHRPP accreditation means that Quorum Review has demonstrated a commitment to upholding the highest standards of human subject research protection and regulatory compliance.

Quality and accuracy at all times.

Quorum conducts a thorough quality check on all outgoing documents to ensure that sites receive high quality IRB approval documents that are free of errors.

Prompt turnaround.

We guarantee a 24-hour turnaround on eligible site submissions (from submission to document posting). And with a prompt amendment IRB review cycle, plus expedited translation services, you’ll gain efficiencies when it matters most.

Rapid site start-ups.

With easy-to-use online forms, multiple Board meetings a week, and a dedicated Site Support Team available from 5 AM PT – 5 PM PT, we deliver the fastest site start-up in the IRB services industry.

Secure access to an online electronic portal.

The OnQ™ portal is a powerful information hub providing sponsors, CROs and investigators immediate access to all review board correspondence, site start-up status as well as online submission capabilities.

Streamlined site submission requirements.

Quorum’s submission paperwork focuses on collecting the information the IRB needs to know.

Single point of contact.

At Quorum, there’s no need to guess about who to call for assistance. Quorum assigns one Quorum representative to each study, and that person will serve as the single point of contact for the life of the study.

Canadian and U.S. review.

Quorum has one of the few institutional review boards accredited to review studies in both the United States and Canada*. Quorum can manage and coordinate submissions from either side of the 38th parallel using a single point of contact per study. * Certain provincial restrictions that apply to most other central Canada REBs can also apply to Quorum Review.

Streamlined process for partnering with institutions.

Quorum has worked with researchers from hundreds of institutions and we offer the same prompt turnaround times to our institutional researchers as we offer to our other researchers.

Experience as diverse as your needs.

Our institutional review board has a deep knowledge and understanding of a broad range of therapeutic areas as well as medical devices, nutraceuticals, cosmetic products and social and behavioral research.

Timely and accurate IRB review of Phase I investigational drugs.

Quorum offers a dedicated Phase I team that is specially trained in the unique needs of Phase I studies. We offer flexibility and faster timelines in our Phase I processes.

Simplified process for Observational Registry studies.
