What is an IRB?

An institutional review board, or IRB, is an independent committee that provides ethical oversight of research to ensure that the risks and benefits of participating in the research are reasonable.

Research that is subject to FDA regulations or the common rule is required to have IRB review. Certain U.S. Regulations govern IRBs and how they function. IRBs review all types of research, from simple survey studies to complex oncology trials.

It's important to work with an IRB with the right expertise for a given trial. This ensures knowledgeable people review the study with an understanding of the condition and latest discoveries.

Proper expertise also saves time, reducing back and forth clarification questions between the IRB and researchers.

With a network of over 150 experts coast to coast, BeyondBound provides thorough, knowledgeable reviews for all major therapeutic areas and research phases.

An IRB's membership roster must be diverse to properly review the research and advocate for participants. An IRB must include at least one scientist and one non-scientist, as well as at least one community member not affiliated with the IRB.

If an IRB member has a conflict of interest with a project under review, that member may not vote on the project before a clinical trial can begin.

The IRB reviews all study materials to confirm they meet regulatory requirements, including recruitment materials and informed consent forms. The IRB is charged with ensuring risks are minimized for participants and the risk-benefit ratio is appropriate for the study and its participants.

IRB members must make sure participants can understand what is expected of them in the study. They may recommend changing some things to increase benefits, reduce risks, improve comprehension, and avoid potentially misleading language.

The IRB also makes sure participants' confidentiality and privacy are protected. An IRB can only approve a study for one year at most, with periodic reviews for longer studies.

Additional Compliance Services

These services are designed for specific regulatory moments — when you need clarity, speed, and documented support without unnecessary complexity.

FDA Registration and U.S. Agent Support for Foreign Brands

Clear, documented FDA registration support for foreign manufacturers entering or operating in the U.S. market — without ambiguity, over-registration, or guesswork.

BeyondBound supports foreign manufacturers and brand owners by confirming whether FDA registration is required, verifying the correct registration pathway, and supporting preparation and submission through FDA systems. The outcome is not just a filing — it is a written confirmation packet you can rely on for audits, distributor onboarding, marketplace verification, and internal compliance records.

This service is built for teams that want clarity they can retain: what was filed, under which category, when updates are required, and how renewal obligations are triggered — explained in plain language.

Who This Is For
Foreign manufacturers producing FDA-regulated products for U.S. sale
Brands onboarding to distributors, retailers, or online marketplaces
Teams that need written confirmation for compliance records
Companies seeking clarity on renewal timing and update triggers

This often creates friction during audits, distributor onboarding, or internal reviews.

BeyondBound

BeyondBound provides written, shareable documentation explaining what was filed, why it was filed that way, and what must be maintained going forward.

Teams gain clarity they can reuse — not just confirmation that “something was submitted.”
