Welcome to Vector IRB
A modern IRB for modern studies...
Vector IRB gives you the competitive advantage.
We start with a lean, efficient process, then use Industry-leading software to automate the process. This allows us to accept submissions later and send documentation earlier than virtually any other IRB. Furthermore, we can complete the forms for you then send them to you for signing, at no extra charge. This avoids the majority of Quality Assurance hold-ups that can occur when submitting documents.
The process advantage:
Modern procedures written from the ground up.
Our procedures are written to match the requirements of current legislation and the ethical concensus of the IRB industry. They require nothing more or less than what the law requires.
All studies are different:
Why use the same form for two different needs?
Most IRBs use the same forms regardless of whether you're conducting a drug or device study. Vector IRB has separate forms for each, asking only the relevant questions for your type of study. This means less questions on the form, fewer forms, and less risk of a small error delaying approval.
The technology advantage:
Modern software written from the ground up.
Many IRBs use software based on outdated technologies, written when the legal requirements were different. Over time, they have modified and extended their systems in response to changes of the regulations. This creates complex systems that the IRB staff have to navigate to make even simple changes to your study. The time and cost overhead is borne by the study - you pay for their inefficiency.
Vector IRB's systems are written and maintained by a small team of experts to work cleanly and efficiently; to track changes, produce documentation and issue approvals in a fast, efficient and concise way. Our systems are the best in the business.
