A PRIM&R Course
Institutional Review Board Administrator Core Training
Overview
PRIM&R’s IRB Core Training Courses 1 and 2 are designed to equip IRB administrators with the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills needed to navigate the complexities of research oversight. These courses are vital for professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of regulatory frameworks, ethical considerations, and best practices in IRB administration. With a focus on both foundational principles and advanced skills, the courses prepare participants to confidently address the challenges they may encounter in the ever-evolving landscape of research.
Course 1 provides the foundation for effective IRB administration, covering key concepts such as informed consent, protocol review, and ethical decision-making. Administrators will gain a solid understanding of the regulatory requirements that govern human subject research and learn strategies for managing day-to-day IRB functions.
Course 2 builds on the knowledge gained in Course 1, delving deeper into more complex issues such as noncompliance, unanticipated problems, and the management of single IRB processes. Participants will enhance their ability to apply multiple regulations, resolve conflicting requirements, and address real-world challenges through case studies, interactive discussions, and practical exercises.
Both courses are structured to offer a dynamic learning experience, combining didactic presentations, case studies, and hands-on learning labs. These labs allow participants to apply their knowledge in real time, developing solutions for the types of issues they will face in their roles.
Upon completion, participants will gain critical insights into the regulatory and ethical aspects of IRB administration and earn continuing education credits, further enhancing their credentials and expertise. These courses are an invaluable resource for any IRB administrator looking to deepen their understanding and refine their skills in research oversight.
