Welcome to the Office of Human Research Protection
We would like to personally welcome you to the Office of Human Research Protection website. Our goals are to balance the protection of human subjects with the need to move research forward, and to promote and maintain an open and cooperative relationship with the research community. With that being said, we are here to assist you in your human research endeavors.
We are pleased to have incorporated the CITI Training course into our educational program. CITI provides a wealth of informationregarding human subject protections. If you have not yet completed CITI, please note that all researchers are required to do so prior to IRB approval of your research studies. See the CITI linked below for further details.
In addition to the online course, we also publish a newsletter on a quarterly basis. Please feel free to submit any contributions to the newsletter. We also host an IRB workshop on an annual basis. Please check the website regularly as we will be posting information regarding national conferences such as Public Responsibility in Medicine Research (PRIM&R).
Often, the IRB submission process can be confusing and tedious however, our goal is to provide researchers with a clear picture of the IRB submission process. We have created a number of tools including checklists and flowcharts to help you navigate through our processes. Additionally, we have revised our policies and procedures to provide a clearer framework for the office.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as we strive to make improvements to our office.
We look forward to working with you.
The IRB TEAM!!!!
