Start Here: Navigating the Regulatory Environment at U-M

WHAT: 6 online modules (link sent to you by email) plus a face-to-face Q&A session on March 21, 1-2:30pm

This workshop is free, but registration is required.  Registration closes March 8th.

Start Here: Navigating the Regulatory Environment at U-M is a blended learning workshop for FACULTY and postdoctoral fellows who are new to U-M or new to clinical or translational research at U-M.

To meet the needs of new faculty, the workshop has two parts.

How it works: First you view all six 8-12 minute online modules.  Then, if you choose to, you bring your questions to a 1.5 hour face-to-face discussion with an expert panel of resource people.  The modules cover the following topics*:

• Avoiding ethical and regulatory pitfalls
• Good clinical practice
• Faculty disclosures and conflicts of interest
• IRB policies and procedures
• Working with the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects
• Clinical research billing

OBJECTIVES are to

1. Provide a general introductory summary of the policies, offices that implement them, and the procedures for conducting clinical and translational research on the U-M campus.
2. Make regulatory resources more accessible and less mystifying to the attendees.
3. Let attendees ask study questions of experienced resource people.

*If you are a U-M STAFF member looking for an introduction to clinical research at U-M, please see the Basics of Clinical Research (4 part series), which is tailored for you.
