Questions not answered the day of are included below, with responses, as a handout (click on the handouts box next to Nalinee Patin's name).

The session will bring awareness and attention to the conduct of virtual research–not just use of e-consent, but of conducting entirely remote protocols. After an introduction of how a virtual research service line operates, speakers will discuss how IRBs can and should review such virtual research, identifying areas for concern and flexibility, and providing practical solutions for implementation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Outline the operational process of virtual research and its intersection with IRB review
  • Discuss the IRB review process (e.g., review of interventional vs. non-interventional research) and IRB member training
  • Provide practical recommendations for reviewing studies
