The Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development (ORIED) is offering a session on the Institutional Review Board at UT and why it matters to you. If you are planning to engage in research that involves human participants, knowing the IRB process can save you difficulties later on. 

This virtual session will be an overall introduction to the IRB process at UT. It will cover the basic overall requirements when submitting a new application to the IRB including what the IRB requires in a protocol, creating meaningful consent forms, and requirements for other attachments. This session is designed to provide actionable information for investigators who are new to UT and experienced researchers alike. The focus will be Arts and Sciences, but this topic is open to all faculty, researchers, and students.

There are two sessions currently being offered: one on Tuesday, August 27 from 10am-11am and one on Wednesday, September 4 from 1pm-2pm.

Register for the workshop or contact Rob Withrow (rwithrow@tennessee.edu) with questions.
