Overview
IRB Administrator Boot Camp offers in-person, hands-on learning specifically designed to help IRB administrators in their day-to-day work within their human research protection program (HRPP). Attendees will strengthen their skills and learn strategies for successfully carrying out responsibilities related to IRB oversight—all in a small group setting that allows for meaningful peer-to-peer collaboration.
The IRB Administrator Boot Camp program consists of two short courses—IRB Administrator 101 and 201—held over the course of three days. Join us for one or both!

September 11, 8:30 AM–4:30 PM
Speakers:
Susan Z. Kornetsky, MPH
Ada Sue Selwitz, MA
Are you asking the right questions? Are you identifying and implementing the best solutions? IRB Administrator 201 will provide a framework to ensure you have the knowledge, skills, and strategies to address questions like:
- Where do I fit into the IRB, and how does the IRB fit into my HRPP?
- How do I implement effective communication pathways between stakeholders and the HRPP?
- Which projects require IRB review?
- When can informed consent or documentation thereof be waived?
- What questions should I be asking the principal investigator?
- What are the important elements of an IRB reliance agreement, and how do I implement and track them?
This one-and-a-half day course will provide knowledge to address issues, strategies an IRB administrator and chair can implement, and skills needed to successfully carry out responsibilities related to IRB oversight. IRB Administrator 201 serves as an intermediate level course complementing the introductory IRB Administrator 101* course.
A portion of the program will utilize peer review with the goal of improving local documentation.
Attendees must bring a hard copy of the following:
Your institution's standard operating procedure (SOP) for expedited review
What Will I Learn?
After attending this course, you will be able to:
- Develop a framework to analyze questions faced in the day-to-day operation of the IRB, and choose solutions that apply ethical principles and applicable federal regulations to these questions
- Identify administrative issues critical to IRB operations in the current regulatory environment, and apply solutions to these issues
- Document IRB activities (e.g., SOPs) to meet federal and HRPP requirements
Who Should Attend?
This program is ideal for mid-level IRB administrators, IRB chairs with administrative responsibilities, and anyone interested in learning more about advanced IRB operations.
*While attendance at IRB Administrator 101 is not a prerequisite for this course, it is recommended that learners have an understanding of the functions and components of an HRPP that are covered in an introductory level course prior to attending IRB Administrator 201, including: key components of HRPPs, responsibilities of administrators, and strategies and policies attendees can use to develop and/or strengthen their institution's HRPP. IRB Administrator 201 is an intermediate-level course, and 3-5 years prior experience is needed.
