Industry-Leading Experience WCG’s Board was the first central IRB to be AAHRPP accredited, and have reviewed tens of thousands of studies in every phase of research. Our leaders have deep expertise in every therapeutic area, including rare diseases and emerging medical research fields, and in every medical device category. Thoughtful Board Review Our AAHRPP-accredited board comprises hand-picked experts from nearly 200 IRB members. WCG leverages our board members’ diverse expertise and consults outside experts to provide thorough review of research documents. The highest level of ethical review is our baseline standard. Outside the U.S.? WCG can handle your review. WCG’s Canadian Board – located in Vancouver, British Columbia – provides comprehensive ethical review services for clinical studies conducted within the Canadian Provinces. A majority of these board members are Canadian citizens or permanent residents whose reviews are conducted in accordance with Division 5 regulations of Health Canada, the Tri-Council Policy Statement, International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guidance for Industry – E6 Good Clinical Practice: Consolidated Guideline, and U.S. CFR Title 21 Parts 50 and 56 and CFR Title 45 Part 46. Conducting research outside of North America? We’re happy to provide U.S. review in conjunction with a local IRB when required for funding or regulatory reasons. Other cases are considered on an individual basis. Note: WCG does not currently provide IRB review in countries where there is not a local IRB.
