Upcoming Presentations

IRB Efficiency Initiative – Monthly Information Sessions

The Office of the VP for Research and the Human Subjects Office launched the IRB Efficiency Initiative to streamline the IRB review process. Attend monthly information sessions on the fourth Wednesdays of the month, 12-1 pm, via Zoom, for:

• Demonstrations of upcoming HawkIRB enhancements
• Updates about expected roll out dates
• Other IRB-related announcements and discussion

Pre-registration is recommended.

Course and Small Group Presentations

The IRB Education and Outreach Program staff deliver presentations on a variety of research-related topics:  

• When and why IRB approval is required
• How to ask whether IRB approval is necessary using the Human Subjects Research Determination (HSRD)
• What to expect from the IRB review process
• Ethical conduct of human subjects research
• Requirements for course-related student projects
• Resources available for all researchers

Each semester we contact the instructors of research-oriented courses to offer a presentation for their students. We consult with course instructors to create presentations that meet the needs of the students. These presentations are especially useful for undergraduate honors seminars, research methods courses, responsible conduct of research courses and graduate or professional student seminars. 

Contact the IRB Education & Outreach Program to schedule a classroom presentation.
