2012 Teaching & Learning Symposium
The IRB office is presenting at the 2012 Teaching & Learning Symposium.
Our session is called "Action Research: Using the UW Courses to Inform Beyond the Boundaries of the Classroom" and will center on understanding the difference between evaluations and research. There is no cost; we hope to see you there!

The IRB office is pleased to present our new outreach curriculum!
We will be offering five different types of sessions, on a regular schedule throughout the year:
IRB 101: An Introduction to the IRB
This session is offered at the beginning of each semester, for new students, faculty, and staff, to get an overview of the IRB.
IRB 102: Getting Started with the IRB Process
This session is offered monthly for those with no experience submitting protocols to the IRB. We will cover required training, accessing WebKit, developing a protocol application and supporting documents, and the IRB review process.
IRB 201: Research with Minors, School-Based Research, and Status Relationships
This session is offered in March and October and centers around research taking place in schools, including projects involving minors and status relationships. We will address special considerations when conducting research with minors, how to plan for the additional requirements for school-based research, and discuss how to address status relationships between researchers and participants.

This session is offered annually in February to address issues unique to international research, travel, and other summer projects.
