Educational Tools
The UI IRB Standard Operating Procedures and Researcher Guide documents IRB policies for the conduct of human subjects research. The Human Subjects Office has Educational Tools and Documents to provide supplemental guidance regarding best practices for study procedures to comply with these policies. These Educational Tools typically refer to relevant policies in the UI IRB Guide. There may be additional information about these topics on other pages of the Human Subjects Office Website.
