Why Should You Attend: The purpose of an IRB review is to assure, both in advance and by periodic review, that appropriate steps are taken to protect the rights and welfare of humans participating as subjects in a research study. To accomplish this purpose, IRBs review research protocols and related materials (e.g., informed consent documents and investigator brochures) to ensure protection of the rights and welfare of human subjects of research and to maximize the safety of subjects once they are enrolled in the project.Areas Covered in the Seminar:IRB- Purpose, Use, Responsibilities.IRB Application Process.Single center trial vs. Multiple center trial.Privately vs. Government sponsored trials.Research Team and IRB.IRB Document management.How to prevent problems.
