The problem

What goes wrong today.

Submission validation, reviewer allocation, meeting preparation, decisions, amendments, continuing review and archival often remain manual or only partly digital. The result is slow turnaround and a decision trail that is hard to reconstruct.

Who it is for

  • Ethics Committee chairs and members
  • EC secretariat
  • Investigators and students submitting proposals
  • Research Offices

What MRB does

One record for the whole journey.

MRB digitises the full research-ethics lifecycle for academic studies, investigator-initiated studies and other supported proposal types. AI assists with completeness and consistency checks; every decision remains with the committee.
