- Sterling IRB of Atlanta, GA is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Veritas IRB of Montreal, Quebec. This collaboration provides sponsors and CROs with one-stop service for multi-center clinical trials with research sites in the United States and Canada. Clients will now have the convenience of one protocol review for all studies conducted from either side of the 38th parallel.
Ted Green, President and CEO of Sterling said, “We are extremely pleased to be affiliated with Veritas IRB. This strong relationship not only speeds and facilitates the review and approval process for sponsors, CROs, and investigators, but it also works to reduce costs while providing the highest level of informed protection for study subjects.”
“Veritas IRB has over 15 years of experience reviewing studies and sites in Canada and the U.S.” stated Janice Parente, President of Veritas IRB Inc. “We are pleased that our collaboration with Sterling IRB will provide clients with efficient and high quality ethics review services across North America.”
Sterling IRB clients will work with their dedicated Account Manager, who will serve as a single-point-of-contact to manage the review process at the study and site levels. Since both Sterling IRB and Veritas IRB are fully-accredited by AAHRPP, this new partnership affords sponsors and CROs the assurance that protocols and research sites are receiving comprehensive review in full compliance with regulatory and ethical requirements in the U.S. and Canada.
