Description

Ominum-Gatherum (noun): a miscellaneous collection

Due to the diverse methodologies, interdisciplinary nature, and broad implications of social, behavioral, and educational research (SBER), IRBs who review SBER are presented with unique challenges. This webinar will address three topics, providing a high-level summary, discussing the challenges that may arise, and sharing tips on how to navigate the review process. The topics will include Terms of Service agreements, randomized controlled trials in the social sciences, and research involving deception.

Agenda
