Thursday, November 18, 2021

1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET

Location: Livestreamed

Join experienced Institutional Officials (IOs) and HRPP leaders for a session focused on defining and implementing a vision for human research protections at your organization. Often, the importance of the role of the IO in setting the tone for compliance, research ethics, and a commitment to protections is underestimated. This session will review the roles and responsibilities of IOs and strategies for effective implementation of an HRPP vision. Speakers will review models for HRPP leadership that can complement and support the role of the IO, strategies for determining which IO responsibilities to delegate and lessons learned from individuals who have served in the IO role.

Learning Objectives:

Understand the importance of the IO in setting and implementing an HRPP vision
Identify strategies for operating as an IO, including varied HRPP leadership models that may help support the role
Apply lessons learned from direct IO experiences to make organizational improvements
