Institutional Review Board (IRB) Approvals

Institutional Review Board (IRB) Approvals

Automate IRB reviews and approvals by streamlining the process with Cflow.

Why automate?

Educational institutions need to undergo Institutional Reviews by the board to ensure that they maintain ethical standards in research work that involves human subjects. Any research project that involves human subjects for study must be routed through the IRB board. Each research proposal undergoes stringent review by the IRB committee to ensure that it is compliant with ethical requirements. Educational institutions handle large volumes of research proposals at any given point in time. By automating the review and approval steps in the process with a no code automation solution like Cflow, educational institutes can approve research proposals quickly. Cflow can effectively automate the IRB Approval process to ensure that all reviews and approvals are carried out on time. Automation reduces the admin burden on educational staff, which helps institutions manage their human subjects research more effectively.

Streamlined Communication:

The stellar communication system in Cflow issues automated notifications and alerts to researchers and IRB board members on the status of their proposals. This way everyone stays informed on the status, and the need for manual follow ups is eliminated.

Ethical Compliance:

Ethical compliance being important for educational institutions, an automated solution like Cflow ensures that all IRB proposals are evaluated for compliance with ethical guidelines. This reduces the risk of ethical breaches and ensures that all research meets institutional and federal standards.
