Breaking news! Hummingbird IRB receives full accreditation by AAHRPP-September 15, 2014 BOLD PROBLEM SOLVING IN A REGULATED WORLD Can the highest level of quality and integrity coexist with an equally high level of efficiency? When the protection of human research subjects is on the line, the answer is yes. Hummingbird IRB bridges the gap between academia and the corporate world by allowing you to retain the individuality and integrity of your research and begin your project quickly. Our mission is to provide the highest caliber of scientific and ethical review to ensure human subject protection. Hummingbird's Leadership and Board members have worked and served on IRBs in academic institutions, including MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Boston University, Tufts, and Brown, so they understand the challenges of academic research and the IRB review process. Because it's your project, our review allows you to maintain control of the particulars (your SOPs and informed consent requirements) while we provide an ethical, compliant review to ensure human subject protection. We respect your individuality and integrity while being mindful of the need for speed and efficiency that sponsors and CROs demand. Imagine having subject experts, therapeutic specialists, investigators, and, in some cases practicing specialists be there whenever you need them. A member of Hummingbird's friendly, customer service oriented staff is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week. If timelines are tight, we can provide a 24-48 hour turn-around time without compromising the integrity of the review. Though not yet the biggest IRB compared to older, larger, corporate IRBs, Hummingbird fully intends to be the best.
