IRB 101 and IRB
250 presented by Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R)
UCR is hosting workshops on
IRB put on by PRIMR at the end of October.
Here's is my recommendation
for which course to attend.
IRB 101 (full day):
·
IRB
members and potential members.
·
Chairs
and potential chairs of departments who aren't familiar with IRB but are in
departments that submit to IRB
·
Researchers
who have not recently done IRB research.
IRB 250 (1.5-4
hours): You can just take part of the day
·
IRB
members and potential members.
·
Chairs
and potential chairs of departments that submit to IRB
·
Researchers
who conduct non-exempt IRB research

IRB 101 is a full-day program that
will provide attendees with the core concepts and fundamental knowledge needed
to succeed as members of a human research protection program (HRPP) and/or IRB.
Through a series of lectures, interactive discussions, and case studies, IRB
101 will cover the ethics, history, and federal regulations as they relate to
research involving human subjects, and teach attendees how to apply these ideas
within their institution’s HRPP. In the afternoon portion of this program,
attendees will divide into small groups for a more focused discussion of two
distinct domains of research: social, behavioral, and educational research
(SBER) or biomedical research. This program is ideal for those new to the
field, or those interested in solidifying their understanding of the ethics and
regulations governing research.
IRB 250 is a half-day program that will cover Criteria for
Approval, Case Studies in Social Behavior Research and Educational Research,
and Case Studies in Biomedical Research that explores best practices for overcoming
the most challenging issues in human subjects protections.
IRB 250 is presented in three sessions and you may attend one or
all three.
8:30am – 10:00am - Overview of Criterion for Approval
10:15am – 11:15am – Case Studies in Social Behavior and
Educational Research
11:15am - 12: 15pm – Case Studies in Biomedical Research

What would you do with
$94M?
Sept 30th was the last day of
the federal fiscal year. The chart below shows UCR federal funding for each of
the past 4 federal fiscal year. Grants are up $15M over the prior year
which was up $10M over the previous year. UCR has achieved this while the
federal budget for research was flat and while most our peers are showing small
increases. Most of the growth is from being more competitive at larger grants,
i.e., the number of awards is up 9% and the dollars 20%.
During the last heat wave, we had a red-shouldered hawk visit
our bubbler nearly every day to cool off. Here’s a photo my wife took.
