9:50-10:50 - One hour session The workshop IRB at Georgetown: Beyond Compliance: Ensuring a Culture of Research Ethics will comprise an interactive discussion regarding the rationale for and basic principles that underlie regulatory requirements for protection of human subjects; the role of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) in protecting human subjects; the relevant national (U.S.) and international regulations that pertain to protection of human subjects – including a discussion of the recently-issued revised Office of Research Integrity General Comments; the organization and roles and responsibilities of the Georgetown University IRB’s in the research review process; a detailed description of the application, review and approval process; the responsibility of faculty mentors for providing guidance to their student mentees; and helpful hints for preparation and submission of IRB applications.
The presenters – the director of the IRB, the chair of Committee C: Social and Behavioral Research, and the Coordinator of Committee C, will make individual and collective presentations, provide a packet of relevant documents, demonstrate the application process using the eRIC online application system, and engage in discussion with the participants. They will also have small group discussions during which participants will be invited to engage in discussion of their questions with the presenters; these questions and responses will be documented and presented to the full group of participants to engage in a broader discussion. This discussion will be documented and a set of questions and answers provided to participants within a month of the TLISI session.
