CITI Program is excited to announce the release of 11 webinars developed by the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP), now available as part of our All Access Webinar Package for organizations. These webinars provide valuable insights into key components of the regulations at 45 CFR 46, Subpart A, also known as the Common Rule. This collection delivers accessible, plain-language explanations paired with expert guidance to deepen understanding of important elements in the protection of human subjects including IRB processes, informed consent, and regulatory compliance.
Description
These webinars cover essential topics such as the foundational purpose and scope of the Common Rule, how to determine when an activity qualifies as human subjects research, and the distinctions between exemption categories. They also explore the use of data and biospecimens, considerations for institutional engagement, and effective informed consent practices rooted in ethical principles. Additionally, the logistics of IRB meetings and membership, types of IRB review, approval criteria under §46.111, and the enduring relevance of the Belmont Report’s ethical framework are covered. Together, these webinars offer a well-rounded, practical understanding of human research protections for professionals at all levels.
