Sometimes being your own worst critic is a good thing. In the case of human subjects protection programs, it can prevent your institution from devastating negative impacts if you can handle the truth. Self-assessment is one option that shows the federal government, institutional officials, and your research communities your dedication to ethics and excellence in human participant research. This dynamic presentation demonstrates how periodic self-assessment of your human research protection program can be monumentally less painful than inspections by the Office of Human Research Protection or the FDA. Our speaker addresses core components including the regulatory parameters, procedures, personnel, training, and implementation of change(s). The presentation covers practical and cost-efficient strategies to implement a self-assessment program, along with tactical approaches to avoid pitfalls.
