Researchers will have plenty of on-demand support resources and access to virtual office-hour sessions when the new IRB module in the Research Administration Portal launches Monday (Feb. 16).
As we approach launch, we want to ensure all researchers know how to prepare, where to get help and what to expect during the first several weeks.
View training options. Register for a system training session or review the self-paced materials to prepare for the changes. This is essential to understanding updated processes and workflows.
Review the Investigator Manual. This is an in‑depth guide designed to support researchers in preparing and submitting human subject research protocols.
Virtual Office Hours. Researchers are encouraged to drop in for assistance. Review the full schedule.
Monday, Feb. 16, 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 17, noon to 1:30 p.m.
