The independence of institutional review boards (IRBs) is critical to their function. While an institution may have stricter guidelines than the IRB, the Office for Human Research Protections and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specify that an institution cannot override an IRB decision and approve research that the IRB has not approved.  At WCG, we have strong policies to prevent undue influence on our IRBs. This foundation supports robust firewalls around our boards and committees, including membership decisions and organizational culture.
