Join HRPP and IRB directors for a candid discussion regarding how to tackle the most difficult management challenges! While most individuals assuming a leadership role overseeing a HRPP/IRB have sufficient regulatory expertise, many HRPP and IRB Directors are new to operational and strategic management. This session will discuss core HRPP/IRB leadership responsibilities such as staffing, performance management, organizational structure, budgeting, forecasting, establishing IRB review fees, overseeing the assessment of HRPP/IRB compliance, quality, efficiency and effectiveness, and advocating for resources. Specific strategies for tackling these management responsibilities, including the use of publicly available peer metrics and local organizational data will be discussed. Speakers will share their real-world experiences and the solutions they developed to address various management challenges.
