Foundational Research Modules: Introduction to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Process

Throughout the year, Bass Connections, in partnership with campus partners and the Office of Undergraduate Research Support, will offer research modules designed to provide students (undergraduate and graduate) with foundational knowledge in research practices. These sessions are open to all Duke students, staff and faculty (you do not have to be a member of a Bass Connections team to participate).

In this session, the Duke Campus IRB will introduce participants to the IRB process.

What is human subjects research and what is the role of the IRB?
When is the IRB process needed and when should researchers use the campus IRB vs. Duke Health IRB?
What are the ethical considerations when doing human subjects research?
How does the IRB process work and how long does it take?

This course will satisfy the Human Subjects Certification which is required for any researcher conducting human subjects research.
