BRANY is the largest alliance of research sites in the world.


BRANY offers a turnkey solution for expedited site identification and study startup. 

Founded in 1998 by the NY Academy of Medicine and several academic institutions, BRANY now includes over 200 affiliates -- all able to use a single contract, IRB and budget.

BRANY accelerates the site selection and startup process but, unlike an SMO, once sites are up and running, interactions are directly between the investigative sites, the sponsors and/or CROs.  BRANY does not interfere with these important relationships.

ONE IRB, ONE CONTRACT, AND ONE IBC.


Our sites are located throughout the US and worldwide. http://www.brany.com/facility.php

A vast health care delivery network with diverse patient populations.
Over 200 academic hospitals and practice settings with more than 30,000 inpatient beds, including faculty practices, outpatient departments and walk-in clinics in most states and Canada. Fifteen long-term care facilities and several VA hospitals. Below is a partial list of sites: All are able to use ONE IRB and ONE CONTRACT.

An ethnically diverse patient population reaches into the millions and includes all socioeconomic groups.

• SITE IDENTIFICATION We help identify potential sites for your trial.  Our team assesses the demographics, past history and the current staff expertise at each site before presenting them to sponsors and CROs.  Give us a synopsis and within 24 hours, we'll have some excellent choices for you.
• CENTRALIZED CONTRACTING One phone call takes care of all regulatory and contract issues. We prepare all necessary regulatory documents for both sponsors and investigators, including consent forms,1572's, financial disclosures etc. The regulatory department works closely with sponsors and investigators to ensure the accurate and expeditious submission of all documents. The emphasis on centralization allows for standardization of budgets for all sites and helps eliminate the confusion of dealing with several different contacts.
• AUDITING Our experienced and clinically oriented staff is available for on-site audits of investigative sites and IRBs to insure compliance with ICH, GCP, FDA and OHRP regulations.
• MONITORING We can supply supplemental monitoring for CROs, sponsors and investigator sponsors. Our monitors are CCRAs, clinically oriented; and include MDs and RNs. East Coast regional monitors are available to assist sponsors and CROs. We can supplement your staff and decrease travel time and cost. We also supply medical monitoring by expert researchers.

IRB SERVICES

The BRANY IRB is composed of academic researchers with extensive IRB experience. Members are committed to the protection of human subjects and ethical and quality research review in the most efficient manner. Ongoing auditing of approved trials assures compliance with all regulatory agencies.

IBC SERVICES

Unique in the nation, our affiliates send representation to a central biosafety committee to review recombinant DNA/gene transfer research.  Our core committee is composed of chairs and biosafety officers from academic centers.  With this mechanism and without sacrificing scrupulous oversight safety, a trial involving recombinant DNA/gene transfer may be started much more expeditiously than in the past.
