Biotechnology Ethics Services: Research & Responsibility (BESRR)

Biotechnology Ethics Services: Research & Responsibility was established by Dr. Terry R. Bard, Principal, in 2008 for researchers and the research community.  BESRR helps to identify and clarify concerns about values and ethics from conceptualization to production of substances, devices, and developmental processes.  As a consultative service, BESRR provides analysis and guidance on the potential value and possible ethical concerns at the initial phases of project development and testing.  BESRR offers guidance on the development of safety plans,  review, and preparation of institutional review board (IRB) applications.  Review of application and marketing stratagems are also evaluated to help avert possible trouble spots.  BESRR consultation reduces exposure to external critique, potentials for ethical and regulatory challenges, and openings for potential litigation.  BESRR offers a cost-effective service for research development and management.
