Because of the unique, innovative nature of our mission, QuietMIND Foundation established an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in 2003 and offers it for use by clinicians/ researchers in neurofeedback, neuromodulation, functional and integrative medicine, Bioenergetic and body-centered therapies, and related fields. The IRB’s mission is to support the broader goal of increasing the quality and rigor of peer-reviewed published evidence by reviewing and monitoring the study's scientific merit, safety, and ethical treatment of subjects. QMF's IRB panelists are drawn from a wide range of fields and are largely internationally recognized experts in their respective fields, along with a diverse representation of the general public.
We strongly encourage neurotechnologists, device developers, and clinicians who wish to deepen their understanding and advance their discipline to consider conducting applied clinical research with QMF's support and guidance. Selected IRB members will be selected to provide expert technical and process consultation on protocol design, implementation, data management and analysis, and manuscript preparation for publication.
Application fee for single-site study - $2750
