Federal regulations mandate that research involving human subjects have IRB approval prior to study initiation. In order to be a successful clinical researcher, investigators need to be familiar with the IRB process as well as with the regulatory framework within which we all must operate. Negotiating the IRB process for first-time (and even seasoned) investigators can sometimes be a daunting task in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape. This session will be devoted to discussing the IRB submission process at Jefferson, the ethical principles of human research, as well as some of the current hot topics of human research and how they are handled at Jefferson.
At the end of this session, participants should be able to:
1) Describe the IRB submission and review process
2) Describe and understand the importance of basic ethical principles underlying human research
3) Find appropriate resources on the IRB website
