Thank you to all who completed the 2023 Research Community IRB Experience survey.
Nearly 260 surveys were completed, providing valuable feedback related to the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the IRB. The information shared enables IRB leaders to better understand the research community’s experience, respond to the feedback submitted, and prioritize actions to address concerns.
The 2023 survey results report is now available. These results, along with previous reports related to this survey, can also be found on the Performance & Metrics page of the IRB website.
