Office for Research Ethics and Compliance to Offer Virtual Office Hours

September 30, 2024

The Office for Research Ethics and Compliance recognizes that submitting a protocol for IRB, IBC, or IACUC review may at times be confusing and difficult. Though email communication works for most instances, some researchers and staff may prefer more direct contact.

In an effort to make OREC staff as accessible as possible to study teams, the Human Research Protection Program, the Biosafety Program, and the Animal Care and Use Program will be offering office hours to provide additional opportunities to ask questions.

Virtual office hours will begin in October.

Schedule

Office hours will be offered via Zoom according to the following schedule.

Clicking the date will open the Zoom meeting. The meeting links for each program’s office hours can also be found on the OREC webpage.

Human Research Protection Program

Questions about research that involves the collection or analysis of information or biospecimens obtained through intervention or interaction with human subjects.

If the HRPP professional is already working with a researcher, you will be left in the waiting room. Callers will be admitted to the call based on the order they entered the waiting room.

Biosafety Program

Questions about research involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecule experiments, and other research biosafety issues.

Animal Care and Use Program

Questions about field research, laboratory research, and teaching activities that involve vertebrate animals.

ACUP office hours will be held via Zoom on the first Tuesday and third Tuesday of each month from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.
