The Quality Improvement Program (QIP) is committed to providing on-going support and education to the Harvard Longwood Campus (Harvard Chan School, HMS, HSDM) research community on a variety of research related topics. The series runs during the academic year (September-May) remotely via Zoom.
Human research training refresher credit will be available at the HLC IRBs for those who attend three or more relevant sessions in an academic year.
Finished with your human research study? Leaving a Harvard Longwood Campus School and have an open Human Subjects research protocol? Transferring your human research to your new institution? Join us to discuss the off-boarding process with the HLC IRBs and your responsibilities when it comes to your research records once your study is over! Bring lots of questions!
