This is a REd Best Practice Network (live) class.

Dr. Ann Johnson, Director, Institutional Review Board (IRB), will facilitate a discussion and workshop on how to simplify consent documents for human subject research. Examples of simplified consent documents will be provided for review.

Participants should bring their own consent documents for simplification, as the group will work together to streamline the documents for submission to the IRB.

Please bring one printed copy of your consent document for simplification, and a laptop if desired.

REd Best Practice Networks are 1 hour in length with a 15-minute presentation and a 45-minute discussion that are led by subject matter experts. They will be developed based on (1) requests from participants and (2) needs from units on campus. Participants are expected to come prepared with any questions that they may have and to engage in a conversation with the facilitator and their peers.
