Working with the Chesapeake IRB Operations Team

Our IRB Operations team provides continuity and efficiency in communication, timeliness and responsiveness to our client companies.   When we are selected to be the IRB of record for your study, the team will schedule a “Start-Up” teleconference to determine optimal exchanges of information as well as lines of communication.

We recommend you communicate regularly with us about projected timelines as your study is being finalized to allow our staff flexibility to schedule your study for IRB review according to your timeline needs.
