Stop me if this sounds familiar: Consultant or non-academic researcher doesn’t understand that although we move quickly as an IRB, they still need to be certified to conduct human subjects research. (That’s part of why we love to grab a quick Zoom call with folks to make sure they understand all the nuances that come with submitting an IRB. This includes making sure everyone is up to date on their certification and they’re readily accessible.) Discovers too late that they need to get certified and can’t find any trainings or all the trainings are $$$ Available IRBs are expensive and hard to work with Researcher gets stuck in the administrative process of submitting for IRB approval – going back and forth trying to get a training done (for themselves and usually others). Orrrr, they decide to move forward without an IRB approval and aren’t able to have their findings published later on. And the thing is? IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS. Certifications can be affordable and accessible. IRBs can be prompt, supportive, affordable, and easy to work with. That’s why we created VIRB and why we just launched our human subjects certification.
