This presentation will offer suggestions for Principal Investigators (PIs), Faculty Advisors (FAs) and research team members to ensure that research studies are conducted in compliance with federal regulations and institutional policies. We will review the some incidents of research noncompliance from the past several years and discuss good practices for PI/FA oversight, staff orientation and training, study procedures and IRB reporting.  Following these best practices will ultimately result in the protection of the human research subjects, which is a goal for the Institutional Review Board (IRB) as well as human subjects researchers.

Pre-registration is recommended.
