Single IRB (sIRB) Training
2026-02-26 15:00 - 15:30 | Virtual
Description:
This 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.
This 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.
Note: This training does NOT count toward SARI credit.

CTSI BERD Webinar: "From Vaccine Coverage to Vaccine Impact
2026-03-02 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM / March 2, 2026

Vaccination is among the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions. A recent analysis estimated that the WHO’s Expanded Program on Immunization has prevented 153 million deaths over 50 years. To arrive at this number requires estimating 3 challenging quantities: the coverage of vaccination, the burden of disease that occurred, and the burden of disease that would have occurred in the absence of vaccination. I will present examples of work I have developed over the last 20 years to estimate each of these quantities in the context of measles and rubella.
