CHICAGO, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Schulman IRB, the industry-leading central IRB in customer service and technology, will preview its new Central Neurology Review (CNR) service today at the Drug Information Association (DIA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL. DIA attendees will receive an exclusive first look at the therapeutically specialized service, developed through an alliance between Schulman and the National Biomedical Research Ethics Council (NBREC), a Nevada-based 501(c) non-profit. Schulman staff and a representative from NBREC will be at booth 816 to discuss CNR with attendees.
CNR is a specialized independent IRB and scientific review committee (SRC) designed to help research institutions and biopharma and device companies navigate the latest developments in neurology research and human subject protections.
With the added SRC review service, CNR can provide early identification of potential areas for study design improvement, potentially minimizing study delays and the need for costly protocol amendments. Committee members include researchers and industry leaders experienced the latest techniques, methodologies and discoveries in neurology research.
“We are excited to share this exclusive sneak peek with the DIA community and get their feedback on the service,” said Eli Alford, COO at Schulman IRB. “DIA brings together some of the top minds in clinical research, so it seemed a great opportunity to give them a first glimpse of the service and discuss how we can improve the pathway to new neurological disease interventions.”
CNR will officially launch in July 2017.
