Staffing Solutions: IRB, IACUC, Research Admin

Specialized research compliance roles are hard to fill — and every vacancy brings backlogs, compliance risk, and the exhausting cycle of repeated searches. HRP provides experienced professionals who step in quickly, contribute immediately, and give your organization the stability it needs to stay focused on what matters.

Temporary Staffing Solutions

We offer flexible engagements from a few months to several years, across roles ranging from front-line staff to program leadership in IRB, IACUC, and Research Administration. Our professionals are ready to step in immediately — covering turnover, parental leave, extended absences, program growth, new IRB or IACUC launches, and backlog recovery — so your program never skips a beat.

Support includes:

  • Staff Turnover: Supporting operations during periods of short-staffing due to turnover, assistance with training of in-coming staff.
  • Parental Leave: Managing absences related to parental leave.
  • Extended Absences: Handling other forms of extended leave.
  • Backlog Support: Helping backlogged committees and programs catch up.
  • Program Growth: Facilitating the expansion of growing programs.
  • New IRBs/IACUCs: Staffing newly established Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs).

“HRP has been a lifesaver for our turnaround times during staff turnover; access to consultant expertise and insights have been extremely helpful when onboarding new staff.”

Embedded Professional Support

Some challenges call for more than a temporary placement — they require a seasoned professional who integrates with your team and operates as a trusted extension of your organization. Our embedded professionals bring deep expertise in IRB, IACUC, and Rresearch Aadministration, maintaining continuity, driving quality, and navigating complex compliance demands alongside your employed staff. Embedding our professionals eliminates the time and uncertainty associated with recruiting, hiring, and onboarding specialized staff, allowing you to maintain momentum and focus on your core priorities.
