Every clinical trial in the U.S. must be approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). An IRB is an independent committee of physicians, statisticians, community advocates and others to ensure that a clinical trial is ethical and the rights of study participants are protected. All institutions that conduct or support biomedical research involving people must, by federal regulation, have an IRB that initially approves and periodically reviews the research.
More than Clinical Research
Our research group is strengthened by Encore Borland Groover’s ability to provide radiologic, endoscopic and infusion services on-site at our facility. We have experience in other areas of health care, including anesthesia, women’s health, allergy, device, radiology, nutrition and immunology. Many of our research projects have been presented nationally and internationally such as at the American College of Gastroenterology and at Digestive Disease Week.
