Are you considering undertaking a new research project involving human subjects? The regulations that guide research activities involving human participants—the so-called “common rule” (45 CFR 46)--was substantially revised in 2018. Changes include the addition of the "exemption category," a clarification of the types of reviews that IRBs can conduct, and several modifications of the required "elements" of consent.

Join the Faculty Hub and Don Forsyth, IRB Chair, for a presentation summarizing these revisions, how they might impact your research project, and their implications for changes in UR's IRB procedures. The presentation, which will be recorded for later viewing, will be followed by open Q&A, which will not be recorded to ensure participant privacy.
