As most of you know, federal law requires that all research involving human subjects-whether conducted by faculty, students or fellows-be reviewed by the University's Institutional Review Board, or IRB

Friday, October 3, from 11:30 - 12:30, the Human Rights Institute will host a discussion with Dr. Irene Jillson, the Chair of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Committee of the University's IRB.  The session, which is open to faculty, staff, fellows and S.J.D. students, is intended to orient members of the Law Center community to the process of seeking IRB review and provide an opportunity for Q&A. The session is currently scheduled to take place in Williams Library 358, in the Centers & Institutes suite, but may be moved based on turnout.

This is a good opportunity to know more about the IRB process, which can impact both you and your students.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP Artisha Thompson <[email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>>.
