  • 1.  Non-scientist IRB Member Training

    Hi all,
    Does anyone have any suggested resources for training a non-scientist IRB member? We're looking for something above and beyond what CITI offers. We're an SBER IRB and want to really dive deep into different social science research methods with a current member to provide the requisite foundational knowledge to allow for effective review.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Kaitlin

    We're found the 5-lesson training series from the OHRP very helpful.

    We're a small SBER-only institution, and thankfully the modules are not all medical-based.

    Take a look:  Human Research Protection Training

    Human Research Protection Training
    OHRP offers a set of training modules about human research protections requirements. The modules provide information about the HHS regulations for the protection of human subjects in research, when the regulations apply to research, and IRB review.
