Yes. Univo IRB was initially accredited in 2020 with full accreditation. In September 2023, we received reaccreditation for the next 5 years. AAHRPP is a globally recognized 3rd party organization who sets accreditation standards that comply with Federal and local laws for protection of participants in research. The process includes an in-depth audit of policies, procedures, a site visit, and interviews with IRB members, staff, and customers to ensure compliance with regulations and accreditation standards. This accreditation is often accepted in lieu of a new vendor qualification audit.

Yes. We support the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance recruitment, but only if it’s implemented transparently, ethically, and with safeguards to protect participant privacy, autonomy, and data integrity.
That’s why we developed a detailed guidance document for sponsors, investigators, and vendors who use AI to identify, assess, or contact participants for research studies. It outlines what we expect in AI-related submissions, including requirements around human oversight, informed consent, bias mitigation, and regulatory alignment.
