OHRP Research Community Forum 2014 in Seattle

NWABR and the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) co-sponsor an OHRP Research Community Forum in Seattle during beautiful Seafair week. 

Our Planning Committee has developed a comprehensive, relevant and impactful program for attendees. Local voices and staff members from OHRP share regulatory insights, best practices and practical strategies at a unique waterfront venue, Bell Harbor Conference Center during the best time to visit the Emerald City. Participants have the opportunity to enjoy regional networking.

NWABR’s and OHRP's Research Community Forum (RCF) is developed by a team of experts in their respective fields, and offers IRB Basics, and two dynamic lecture tracks for researchers and professional administrators. Respected leaders from our member institutions provide insights and information about the most pertinent issues impacting the research field across our region. 

If you're looking to manage the growing pressures IRBs feel around changing research, healthcare and new technologies, join us and take flight!
