If you are collecting or using data from human subjects in research, your project needs approval from an Institutional Review Board (IRB).  Does the IRB approval process seem a bit unclear or intimidating? Are you collecting primary data in the U.S. or abroad and wondering what needs to be approved, when in your project you need to apply and how to ensure you have a project design and data management plan that will receive approval?  Come join us to gain a clearer understanding of the IRB review process, learn recommended IRB-compliant best practices for primary data collection and secure data management, and receive practical guidance for specific requirements at MIT and Harvard.
