The regulations governing research change constantly...
...So why wait to learn about them?
Regulations, compliance, privacy, ethical implications, best practices, new tools, and SOPs all develop rapidly, leaving no corner of the research world untouched by change. The time for learning and keeping current is now.
So if you're just getting oriented, or even if you already "rule the school," there is no better moment to gain and apply essential new knowledge at your institution.
Calling all new kids--and anyone in need of a refresher!
Get back to basics with any of these "core" courses:
IBC Basics
IRB 101sm
IRB Administrator 101
Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement 101
Or, for those with a firm footing in their area of research, consider a more "advanced" lesson:
Advanced Research Ethics (CME)
Essentials of IACUC Administration
Hot Topics for Institutional Officials
IRB 201 (CME)
Don't forget to flesh out your courses with "electives:"
Human Genetics Research
Investigator Responsibilities
Primer on Community Participation in Research
Strategies for Successful International Research
Enrich your experience with extracurriculars
Get some one-on-one tutoring...
...at the 2009 Advancing Ethical Research Conference, to be held November 14-16!

Whether you're interested in rapid-fire Speed Mentoring, or off-the-cuff--but informative--networking, this is the premier event of its kind. Where else can you find a vibrant community of professionals who face the same challenges, interpret the same regulations, and work to advance the same ethical standards in the conduct of research? Nowhere!
