Consulting

Auditing

Chesapeake Research Review, Inc. is your resource for expert consultation on all aspects of IRB operations. Our consultants are available to perform routine IRB audits as part of a quality assessment/ quality improvement program, as well as to provide expert crisis management of serious regulatory and compliance issues. Our team can assess the magnitude of risk involved, including reputation and public relations concerns, and provide guidance on appropriate actions. We have extensive experience working with legal representation to preserve attorney-client privilege, and compiling reports to regulatory agencies such as the Office for Human Research Protections.

Managing Outsourcing and Affiliations

Chesapeake Research Review, Inc. has extensive experience managing outsourcing of IRB services. We help many institutions evaluate their resources and capabilities in order to determine how to best provide a high quality and timely IRB review function. Evaluation of the mission of the organization and communities and stakeholders served by the research function are all considered in order to determine how the organization deploys their research infrastructure.

Structure and Leadership

The structure of the research program often needs to be adjusted to account for the volume of research being conducted and the skills and credentials of the human resources available. In addition, potential conflicts of interest can develop within the administrative oversight function as responsibilities shift within the organization. Chesapeake Resarch Review, Inc. can evaluate the present reporting structure and recommend the optimum alignment for efficiency, quality, and risk management.
