Webinar: (2019-02) Soldiers as Subjects: What IRBs and DOD-Funded Investigators Need to Know about Research with Military Personnel


Research is an important way to develop knowledge and tools to help military personnel throughout the course of their careers in areas such as training and fitness, psychological resilience, infectious disease prevention and treatment, trauma medicine, and rehabilitation. The imperative to advance the health and performance of service members must be fulfilled through ethical and compliant human subjects research. During this webinar, speakers from the Department of Defense (DOD) will introduce key regulatory requirements, specific population considerations, and best practices for including service members in research. Investigators will learn how to plan for successful research in this domain, and IRBs will gain an understanding of how to assess service member-centric protocols. (Presented on December 5, 2019)
