We’re so pleased to unveil our new CIRB website!  It’s the foundation of an improved communications effort to our CIRB community, and the result of listening to your feedback and taking your suggestions to heart.  

Why did we rework the website?
When we surveyed our CIRB participants and conducted focus groups to get your thoughts on the effectiveness of our communication tools, you told us that our brand didn’t project a clear theme.  You said our website needed a lot of help.  We now have a new mission statement, a brand that reflects it, and a new website that’s streamlined and focused on getting you the information you need to do your job.

How has the website changed?  
The first thing you’ll probably notice is that it looks different.  We hope it’s much more visually appealing and modern .  We’ve designed it to make it as easy as possible for you to find what you need, with clearer navigation and search functionality.  We’ve shortened and simplified the content, and we’ve added more Quickguides to help address your requests – for example, instructions on completing forms, opening a study, and other topics.

What next?
We hope you’ll like what you see, not only on the website but in our complete branding “package,” from PowerPoint templates to stationary.  But our work is far from over.  We’re going to continue to add content and experiment with other communication channels.

What can you do?
Please check out the new site and email us your thoughts.  What do you like?  How can it be better?
Thank you for your candid feedback and observations.
