Our Mission

The Human Research Protection (HRP) Education & Outreach (E&O) program is a unified cross campus initiative to provide education and outreach to all who are involved in research involving human subjects. Our mission is to equip researchers with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the regulatory landscape of human subjects research.

Through proactive engagement, the program aims to support researchers and promote ethical practices that enhance understanding of human subjects protections across the university community.

The HRP Education & Outreach program goals are to:

  • Inform the research community about the latest developments in human subjects protection, including news, guidance, and regulatory updates.
  • Educate researchers, IRB members, and IRB staff through tailored outreach and ongoing learning opportunities.
  • Support investigators through compliance reviews, self-monitoring tools, and personalized assistance to promote high-quality, ethically sound research.

By offering these resources, we seek to reduce compliance burdens and foster a culture of collaboration and integrity in research involving human participants.
