Student Education Session

This education session is geared towards HSPH students who will be conducting research for a class or dissertation. Many times these projects are planned in a shorter amount of time than other protocols and are submitted at the last minute to the IRB. As a result, students can risk not getting a determination in time to complete the project. This session will cover road blocks, FAQs, and recommendations specifically for HSPH students conducting human subjects research.

The Student Education Session is held once a semester.  Feel free to bring your lunch!
