Virtual Q & A Session with WCG IRB

The UC Davis IRB will be hosting a virtual Q & A session with a representative from the WCG IRB, formerly the Western Institutional Review Board (WIRB), for researchers who are already conducting a study where the UC Davis IRB relies on the WCG IRB for review or plan to do so in the near future.

MythBusters: Institutional Review Board (IRB) Edition

In this interactive course, we take on the myths and misconceptions surrounding the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Just like the TV show MythBusters, we will examine commonly held beliefs about IRB requirements, approvals, and procedures to uncover the truth. Attendees will learn the purpose of the IRB, how to navigate the submission process, and what ethical considerations must be accounted for in human subjects research. Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or just starting out, this course will debunk the myths that create confusion and empower you with practical knowledge for conducting ethical research with confidence.
