IRB Receives Accreditation with Distinction from the AAHRPP

Boston Medical Center's Institutional Review Board (IRB), which is shared with Boston University School of Medicine, BU School of Public Health, and the Goldman School of Dental Medicine, has been awarded accreditation with distinction from the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs. The distinction recognizes researchers' and IRB board members' sensitivity to and understanding of the vulnerable populations BMC serves, the extensive efforts researchers make to protect research participants, and the consideration researchers give to community context when designing and choosing studies.
