Benjamin Kuo, secretary-general of the JIRB and a doctor in the Medical Research and Education Department at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, points out that because there are more and more multinational, multi-center research projects, making separate applications to the IRBs of all the institutions involved is time-consuming and inefficient.
JIRB 執行秘書、台北榮總教學研究部醫師郭英調指出，由於跨國性、多中心的研究越來越多，每項研究若要分別向各醫學中心的 IRB 申請，曠日廢時，缺乏時效與競爭力，因此才有 JIRB 的成立。
