Doing research that engages or interacts directly with people (“human subjects research”) involves working with an Institutional Review Board (IRB). IRBs help to support responsible clinical and behavioral research by protecting the rights and welfare of participants. Our experts in this session shared when and why an IRB is needed; IRB processes, requirements, and timelines; how IRBs can facilitate or hinder equity in research, and unique considerations for working with an IRB when doing firearm injury research and community-based work.
This webinar was part of a series presented by the Center to highlight community-driven research and practice while building the capacity, confidence, and visibility of leaders advancing this critical work.
