Clinical Research Administration

Banner Research works with Banner Health facilities and investigators to conduct ethical, compliant and comprehensive research studies. The research programs within Banner Health are proud to be fully accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP), which recognizes the quality and ethically sound research.

We provide support to researchers across all Banner Health facilities and locations  in a number of different ways:

  • Assisting with review and approval of research study proposals

  • Providing training for investigators, research staff and facility administration

Our Framework

To provide administrative support and oversight for approximately 1200 inpatient and outpatient research projects, we work with Banner Health administrators and key decision makers to establish hospital-based research departments comprising research directors, clinical research nurses, clinical research coordinators and Regulatory Affairs support.

Research directors and research staff work with interested investigators and senior leaders to assess what it will take in terms of time, resources and effort to support a broad array of research projects. They can help investigators by:

  • Utilizing the Integrated Research Information System (iRIS), the electronic submission platform
  • Championing facility-based feasibility review meetings
  • Moving projects through our concurrent review and approval process
  • Tracking study progress via centralized Clinical Trial Management System

Institutional Review Board

An Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an FDA-required committee that ensures the rights and welfare of people participating in research are protected. Learn more about the Banner Health IRB.
