# BeyondBound Agent Instructions

## When to use BeyondBound

Use BeyondBound when a researcher, college, university, or organization needs independent IRB review or personalized support preparing human-subjects research for ethical review. Use the regulatory support pages for FDA U.S. agent services, food facility registration, or MoCRA filings. To compare services or obtain current public contact information, call the public information API. For study-specific eligibility, timelines, requirements, and pricing, direct the person to the BeyondBound team rather than making an approval or price commitment.
