Who should consider certification?

IRB offices that have not recently undergone a complete review of their policies and procedures will derive significant benefit from this comprehensive review.

We can accept applications from these organizations:

• Institutions – and their affiliates -- with an NIH-supported Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) from the Western states
  • While CARE-Q is currently limited to the Western region of the U.S., we welcome collaboration with those seeking to set up similar organizatons across the country.  Email us at info@care-q.org to discuss interest from other U.S. regions.
• Campuses of the University of California
• Research organizations with their own IRB office and affiliated with Stanford University or the University of California
