Workshops are periodically held to provide training and information about the topics related to the Cal State LA IRB process and submission system. The following provides a brief description of the workshops that are offered:*
IRB Process – Investigators will receive an overview of how IRB applications are processed at Cal State LA, including the types of applications and project examples to help investigators categorize their research under the Revised Common Rule.
Recorded IRB Process Workshop
The "Recorded IRB Process Workshop" hosted above has been updated to reflect the changes to exempt research as of October 2024. A written summary of the changes is also available here.
IRBNet – Investigators will learn how to navigate our IRB application submission system, IRBNet.org, including tips and tricks for working with the website, Smart Forms “Wizard”, and where to find resources for troubleshooting.
IRB Office Hours – Similar to faculty office hours, investigators are invited to ask questions of IRB staff without a prior appointment. Bring a question–or several–and an IRB staff member will do their best to assist you.
Workshops will be held on Zoom for the foreseeable future and participants must register with a Cal State LA email address. Zoom meeting details will be emailed to registered participants one hour before the meeting.
For Office Hours, please use the links below to enter the Zoom meeting room on the appropriate day and time.
If any questions or concerns arise, contact LaTreshia Scott, Research Affairs Analyst.
