Trinity Health Grand Rapids IRB

Trinity Health Grand Rapids believes that research or clinical trials involving human subjects demand that our first responsibility is to the health and well-being of the individual. To protect and respect patient's rights, Trinity Health Grand Rapids has established an Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Subject to FDA and HHS regulations, the IRB is an appropriately constituted group formally designated to review and monitor biomedical research involving human subjects. The purpose of the IRB is to assure, both in advance and by periodic review, that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects participating as subjects in research.
