Schedule for Summer 2008

If you are planning to conduct research involving human subjects, you will need to complete Human Subjects training in order to get your application reviewed by the HSRB.   Note: If you are advising a student who is conducting research on human subjects you will also need to have completed Human Subjects training in order for your advisee to have her/his application reviewed.

The Office of Research Compliance will be offering training sessions for faculty, staff and students conducting research with human subjects on a monthly basis throughout the academic year. Please contact the Office of Research Compliance to register for a session: (419) 372-7716.  Note:  If less than 5 people register for a session it will not be held.

In addition to these scheduled sessions, the Office of Research Compliance can conduct training sessions for individual departments (research groups, faculty meetings, individual classes).  All workshops require a two-and-one-half (2.5) hour block of time and a location that can accommodate a PowerPoint presentation. Please contact Rich Rowlands to coordinate the scheduling details.
