HRRC to host information sessions

The GVSU Human Research Review Committee will host four open forum sessions on selected topics in human subjects research. All faculty members who conduct human subjects research, advise student researchers, or teach research methods courses, are invited to attend.

The format for each 90-minute sessions will be a brief overview of the topic followed by an open forum question and answer period. Presenters are all current members of the Human Research Review Committee, sometimes referred to as the IRB (Institutional Review Board).

Each session will be offered at the Allendale and Pew campuses; all sessions will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. The schedule is below; questions can be directed to (616) 331-3197.
