Sponsor / CRO information
Experience, expertise and facility to meet the individual needs of each sponsor and research protocol
The Richmond Behavioral Associates research unit and location was carefully considered. Our facility was meticulously custom designed and constructed, employing all the knowledge of our experience. We are convinced that our research unit is “State of the Art”. We are equipped with the experience, expertise and the research unit facility to meet the individual needs of each sponsor and research protocol. The 5,000 square foot facility is not a hospital, it is not a hotel, it is not an ICU, but it is a custom designed Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit.
Quality & Integrity
Richmond Behavioral Associates uses a validated environmental monitoring system to ensure the quality and integrity of all pharmacy room temperatures, refrigerated / frozen drugs and samples stored within the RBA research facility. Security Cameras are stratigically placed throughout the RBA research facility, both inside and outside, to monitor and record all activity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Entry and Exit doors, including fire exits, are alarmed with audible sirens at all times to secure controlled access to and from CPMI. Separation between volunteer inpatient and outpatient areas are strictly secured with locked doors accessible only by staff members with swipe-cards / push-button security codes.
