The Human Research Protection Programs hosts two on-campus IRB conferences a year: a half day spring conference and a full day fall conference.  Both on-campus and off-campus speakers are invited to present and discuss relevant and emerging human research protection issues. Recent conferences have focused on ethical dilemmas in human subject research, research on children, HIPAA, research involving geriatric patients, and informed consent.

Upcoming IRB Conferences

The Fall 2009 IRB conference will not be held this year. Please check back with us at a later date for upcoming conference information.
