The IRB plays a central role in considering and promoting diversity and inclusion in human subjects research. This webinar will review the rationale for improving diversity and inclusion in clinical studies and will discuss how the IRB can promote diversity during routine reviews of clinical research protocols. Case examples and practical resources will be presented. (Presented on November 10, 2020)
