The principal source of ethical review for human subjects research has traditionally been the IRB. For a variety of reasons, increasing numbers of institutions are developing research ethics consultation services to provide guidance to investigators, study teams, research subjects, and IRBs about ethical issues arising in particular research studies. The presence of an additional source of ethics input and guidance raises important questions about the relationships between these ethics consultation services and IRBs. During this webinar, speakers will address such questions and more. (Presented on April 23, 2019)
