2024 Workload and Salary Survey Report
As a professional involved in the world of research ethics, you work hard to understand and keep up with complex regulations, manage your day-to-day responsibilities, and keep your career on track. All of these moving parts can make it challenging to know where you stand and how the work you do compares to that of other research ethics professionals around the country.
If you are curious about how your salary, responsibilities, and professional experiences stack up against others in similar positions now, review the results of the 2024 Workload and Salary Surveys.
PRIM&R distributes two versions of this survey, one geared to professionals who work primarily with IRBs, and one for those who work primarily with IACUCs. The results of these surveys provide important insight into current trends and opportunities, which can help you to see where the field stands overall and how the work you do fits within it.
PRIM&R members and nonmembers who participated in one or both surveys can access the reports for free. Nonmembers who did not complete either survey can purchase the reports.
