The ERC has over 20 years of experience reviewing all sizes of studies, from single-site, Investigator-initiated projects to trials including as many as 1,500 sites.  While serving as the central IRB for larger studies, we have gained knowledge which led to the development of processes which ensure prompt, efficient communication and record keeping, without unnecessarily overburdening the Sponsors.  Based on the specific demands of the submitted study, these processes may include modified or reduced submission documents, Sponsor Reporting Agreements, continuing review reporting requirements, as well as, modification to the acknowledgement procedure. 

If you are submitting a large, multi-site protocol, the ERC administrative office will contact you to discuss the study set up design for your specific trial. 
 

This section is designed to assist Sponsors with protocol submissions, protocol amendments, on-going reporting requirements, continuing review, and closing out a study.
