This is a REd Best Practice Network (live) class.
The University of Utah has updated and reorganized guidance regarding surrogate consent by an legally authorized representative (LAR). While the policy broadens the categories of persons allowed to provide surrogate consent, the IRB hopes to obtain more specificity in the application before allowing use of surrogate consent. The IRB hopes to guide investigators and study teams to provide more of a focused justification of the use of an LAR in research.
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.
