IRB Insights

Join us in 2026 for IRB Insights, a monthly lecture series designed to keep researchers informed about new IRB processes, HawkIRB application improvements, and other updates from the UI Human Research Protection Program (HRPP). 

IRB Insights lectures provide updates on changes in the HawkIRB system from the HawkIRB Redesign Initiative, share regulatory, policy and compliance updates, and offer opportunities for ongoing education and discussion.

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.
