What is an IRB project manager?

IRB Project Managers are professionals responsible for overseeing projects that involve Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), which review and approve research involving human subjects. They coordinate submissions, ensure compliance with ethical guidelines, and manage communication between research teams and the IRB. Their role is critical in ensuring that research studies meet all regulatory and ethical standards before and during the study. They may also provide training and guidance to research staff about IRB processes and documentation requirements.
