SUMMARY:Single IRB (sIRB) Training
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThis 30-minute presentation provides a high-level overview of the Single IRB process. “Single IRB” in this case refers to the process and requirements for multi-site research studies (that is\, a study on which multiple institutions are collaborating) to use a Single IRB of record. This process involves authorization agreements and a different workflow than IRB submissions where Penn State is the only engaged institution. \nThis training is geared toward first time Single IRB users; it covers when and how to use the Single IRB as well as best practices and general tips. The training provides 15 minutes of instruction followed by 15 minutes with a Single IRB expert. If you are new to the IRB but do not require an authorization agreement\, please attend our “Getting to Know the IRB” training session. \nNote: This training does NOT count toward SARI credit. \nRegistration: \nTo register in Penn State’s Learning Resource Network (LRN): \n\nClick the LRN Registration Link.\nClick Request.\n\nCollege of Medicine and Penn State Health: LRN Registration Instructions  \nAttempting to log in to the LRN using a browser where you are already logged in to a Penn State Health website or system will result in an error message.
