Overview
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Franciscan Research Administration are committed to following federal regulations to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects and ensure consistency with the philosophies of the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.
Franciscan Research Administration is pleased to announce the adoption of the REDCap suite of tools, accessible via the internet, bringing electronic protocol management, online submission and many other important research oversight features to the Franciscan Alliance research community.
