Title: Institutional Review Boards: Registration Requirements 
Abstract: The final rule would require institutional review boards (IRB) to register with the Department of Health and Human Services. The registration information would include the name of the IRB; the name of the institution operating the IRB; and names, addresses, phone numbers, facsimile (fax) numbers, and electronic mail (e-mail) addresses of the senior officer of the institution and IRB chair or contact; the number of active protocols involving FDA-regulated products reviewed in the previous calendar year; and a description of the types of FDA-regulated products reviewed. The final rule would make it easier for FDA to inspect IRBs and to convey information to IRBs.
