The Institutional Review Board

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is a critical component of the Research Center at Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group. It is responsible for reviewing and approving research involving human subjects to ensure that it is conducted ethically and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. The IRB plays a key role in protecting the rights and welfare of research participants, as well as the reputation and credibility of the Research Center. The IRB is typically composed of a diverse group of individuals with expertise in various fields, including medicine, nursing, ethics, law, and social sciences. This diversity helps to ensure that all relevant perspectives are considered when evaluating research proposals.

The IRB is responsible for reviewing research protocols and related documents, such as informed consent forms and participant recruitment materials, to ensure that they meet ethical standards and comply with relevant regulations. The IRB may also provide guidance to researchers on how to modify their protocols to meet these standards. In addition to its role in reviewing and approving research, the IRB is also responsible for monitoring ongoing research studies to ensure that they continue to meet ethical standards and that the rights and welfare of research participants are protected.

Overall, the IRB plays a vital role in the Research Center, helping to ensure that all research involving human subjects is conducted in an ethical and responsible manner. To apply for our IRB approval,
