2021 IRB VIRTUAL CONFERENCE - July 29, 2021

Join NWABR and its conference partners, the WIRB-Copernicus Group IRB and Advarra, as we host our annual IRB Conference on July 29, 2021.  We will feature a presentation from the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) as in years past. 

CoronaVirus Impact on IRB Conference

Due to the popularity of this conference, and the potential risk of us all meeting in the same space, we have elected to host this conference virtually. This allows us to fully participate and to open the conference to people outside our geographic region at a lower cost.  

Attendees will be able to view all presentations live and those presentations will also be recorded for offline viewing by registered attendees.  This service will be offered through the GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar platforms.
