Advarra states that it may have taken its current shape in 2017, but its story stretches back more than 40 years. Before Schulman IRB and Chesapeake IRB came together to form Advarra, both organizations were known for their rigor, independence, and unwavering commitment to ethical oversight. Their shared values and competencies—regulatory expertise, trusted service, operational excellence, and a forward-looking approach to technology—became the company's North Star as it expanded through acquisitions, partnerships, and strategic innovations. Advarra brought together market-leading CTMSs for research sites and institutions, built technology for sponsors and CROs to collaborate and communicate with sites, and introduced Braid, its data and AI platform.

Independent, rigorous oversight with speed, expertise, and transparency; pairing decades of IRB experience with advanced intelligence and integrated solutions.
