Institutional Review Board Series: Facilitating Ethical Human Subjects Research, (Re)Introduction to the IRB

Join FCTE for this session that introduces student and faculty researchers to the Institutional Review Board at Indiana State University. We will explain the procedures involved in submitting a study protocol, the elements of review, and what to expect in the application and review process. We will give particular attention to practical discussion of the core values which guide researchers in protecting human subjects participating in research studies. One of five sessions designed for those who submit applications to the IRB, this session will count toward a three-session requirement for a certificate of recognition. Those who participate in at least three sessions will be provided a certificate recognizing their efforts related to professional development. The certificate may be included in faculty members' annual review materials, applications for promotion and/or tenure, and Biennial Review reports or may be included in students' portfolios. Ryan Donlan and Anne Foster will be the facilitators of this session.
