Educational Event brought to you as part of the St. Charles General Auxiliary Professorship in Nursing

Overview
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is responsible for overseeing research involving human subjects. There are multiple types of reviews that can be completed by the IRB depending on level of risk to participants and if those participants are considered vulnerable populations. This presentation will provide a brief history of the IRB, as well as define “Research” and “Minimal Risk.” The different review categories and certain populations that require special consideration will be presented. The application process in LSUHSC's new Kuali system will be reviewed and tips for a successful submission will be explored.
