Reminder: Webinar on IRB Basics for Research Administrators will be held 1/28/2026

This proposal involves human subjects research, now what?

Just a reminder, The Human Research Protections and Integrity office will be offered 1/28/2026 at 1pm. 

We invite all UMBC Research Administrators who support research with human subjects, data and biospecimens to join us for a webinar on what the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is, what its role is at UMBC and when research with human subjects requires IRB oversight. Additionally, we will touch base on some more nuanced questions like when PIs should obtain IRB approval during the lifecycle of a grant submission, what documentation is needed for collaborative research, and when unfunded agreements may be needed.

At the end of this session there will be time for some Q&A. Please feel free to comment with questions ahead of time to be answered during the current or future sessions. If you have questions that pertain to a specific proposal or IRB protocol, please email irb@umbc.edu.

Please sign up for the event at the link provided below.
