The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic continues to impact the entire global research enterprise. All aspects of human subjects research protections programs are seeing challenges to their operations. The resulting environment for research oversight due to the global public health crisis will continue for a considerable period of time.

In addition to providing examples and caveats for some commonly identified issues, this webinar will include moderated breakout sessions for discussion of additional areas and brainstorming where problem-solving is needed.
