This three-part workshop offers a concise, practical overview of the life of an IRB submission—from beginning to end. Participants will explore the core responsibilities of an IRB administrator at each stage of the submission lifecycle and how administrators support investigators, IRB members, and institutional stakeholders throughout the review process.
The workshop will walk through the IRB submission process, including common review pathways, key terminology, and important regulatory concepts. Through discussion and real-world scenarios, participants will examine how ethical principles and federal regulatory requirements guide administrative decisions and IRB review. By the end of the series, participants will have a clearer understanding of how IRB administrators help ensure efficient, compliant, and ethically grounded research oversight.
