Small research programs may provide unexpected opportunities to foster better integration of compliance committees into research communities. This session will explore ways to un-silo the IACUC and the IRB from the research groups, as well as potential advantages of having trainees learn about the ethical regulations as they are learning how to do research.
Learning Objectives:
Identify opportunities afforded by a small research program to foster regular communication between researchers, research students, and compliance committees
Share strategies for small research programs to integrate training about ethical regulations and compliance committees into the coursework or training given to science students or research trainees
Understand the features of compliance committee resident mentoring programs, and the individual and institutional benefits such programs can produce
