UM IRB-HSBS training and communication

IRB-HSBS Education
The IRB-HSBS education program offers several remote learning opportunities for faculty, staff, and students from the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses including our general education series (see the schedule and register online). If you are unable to join us on Zoom for a general education session, or you would like information on other topics related to the conduct of human research, IRB-HSBS staff can provide virtual presentations that are tailored to the needs of your group or class. Please contact the IRB-HSBS office at (734) 936-0933 or [email protected] to learn more. Researchers who prefer to discuss their specific projects, ask questions, and get help on an individual basis may schedule a video conference with IRB staff. Additionally, the University of Michigan IRB Collaborative (U-MIC) offers brief recorded presentations online that address U-M IRB processes and procedures. The Fall 2020 schedule is now available.

Also available, IRB On the Road sessions during which researchers can discuss their projects with IRB-HSBS staff.
