IRB Update - All of the protocols that were suspended last October have been either re-approved or closed and IU South Bend's Institutional Review Board (IRB) is entering a transitional period. For the next few months all applications for IRB approval (exempt, expedited, and full) will be reviewed by the full IUSB IRB in conjunction with the chair of the Bloomington Human Subjects Committee (Peter Finn).
Our current schedule is as follows:
Due by noon on 9/17/04 to be reviewed on 9/24/04
Due by noon on 10/1/04 to be reviewed on 10/8/04
Due by noon on 10/15/04 to be reviewed on 10/22/04

I will be holding IRB Update Workshops in the UCET classroom on Wednesday, September 15th and Thursday, September 16th at 3pm. I will go over all of the changes and then members of the IRB will be present to answer questions.
We appreciate your patience with this process and we look forward to working closely with all of you that do human subject research at IUSB.
National IRB Workshop: OHRP Research Community Forum: Exploring Risks and Rights in Non-biomedical Research

The office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is co-sponsoring a conference with the Office of Human Research Protections on "Exploring Risks and Rights in Non-biomedical Research." We are fortunate to have Dr. Bernard A. Schwetz, the new Director of OHRP, as a key participant in the conference. The one-day conference will be on October 20, 2004, and will be held at the Indiana Memorial Union. This is an opportunity to focus on the issues that surround the conduct of non-biomedical research and the concerns of researchers with existing regulations.

Further information about the program and registration details can be accessed at http://www.indiana.edu/~ovpr/ohrp/. Advanced registration is required but there is no registration fee for IU faculty, students and staff.
Workshop Opportunities: If you would like to attend a grant-related workshop on the Indianapolis or Bloomington campus, the Office of Research will pay for your travel. Check out what is available at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/spon/workshopcontent.htm If there is enough interest in any specific topic we can arrange to have their presenters come to IUSB.
