Seminar Description

This seminar explores the boundaries between human subjects research, non-human subjects research, and quality improvement (QI) projects. This discussion will help investigators understand how this critical distinction impacts how you design your project, your data collection options, and important implications for publication.  Kathryn Schuff, MD, MCR and OHSU IRB Vice Chair, will cover regulatory definitions (45 CFR 46), OHSU Institutional Review Board (IRB) oversight, and how to properly request a determination from the IRB re: whether your project is Human Subjects research, Non-Human Subjects research (NHSR) or a QI project (not research).
