This is a Campus Partner event held by the University of Arizona Research, Innovation, and Impact (RII).
This Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) workshop covers the ethical importance of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the process for submitting projects to the Human Subjects Protection Program (HSPP). Through a mix of formal presentation, small group discussions, and Q & A, this introductory-level workshop will address the ethics and history of research with human subjects, the IRB approval process, and guidelines for working with vulnerable populations. Approval from the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is required for all research involving human subjects under the purview of the University of Arizona. Participants will gain the necessary background and information to understand the purpose of the the Human Subjects Protection Program (HSPP), the requirements for IRB review, and the process for seeking IRB approval.
