Agility and Safety Scenarios in Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) Research and Social Behavioral and Educational Research (SBER)
recorded
The relationship between researchers and regulatory offices should feel like a partnership. Research compliance offices share goals of safety and ethics in research. Many times, this means being adaptable and agile to find the central core of best practices during very specific situations. This webinar will examine models that encourage dialogue and population-specific considerations in the early stages of research design; where we ask, “how can we create an environment where researchers and regulatory offices openly discuss challenges rather than just complying on paper?”
Examining DEIJ Practices: From the Office to Beyond
RECORDEd
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice initiatives can vary across different offices, institutions, and regions for research oversight professionals. This panel discussion will explore effective strategies for embedding DEIJ principles in your offices through case studies, while also widening the lens to explore the impact to surrounding offices and communities. Navigate how to support DEIJ research perspectives and foster a culture of trust and belonging with research participants. Join your colleagues from different regions and gain insight on how language and regional regulations impact DEIJ efforts. This multi-level understanding of DEIJ will equip you with the tools to critically assess and apply different principles when navigating DEIJ challenges.
