Please register on REPORTER for the workshop(s) you wish to take or to “watch” one or more of the IRB workshops listed above that you are interested in taking that you are waiting for a date/time in the spring 2025 semester that works better for your schedule. Watching an IRB workshop means that you will be notified via email by REPORTER when a new workshop session is scheduled and open for enrollment. It does not mean that you will be automatically registered for the workshop.
IRB Drop-In Virtual Office Hours
Have questions about an IRB application you’re working on submitting? The NC State IRB offers virtual office hours on Zoom where you’ll be able to meet with IRB staff individually, discuss any questions you have, and receive targeted guidance for your protocol in the process. All sessions are first-come, first-served with a meeting waiting room enabled to facilitate the process. There is often a wait to meet with IRB staff during office hours.
Fall semester 2024 office hours dates, times, and passcodes are posted to the IRB office hours information sheet linked below. Each office hours meeting has its own meeting passcode which you need to enter to access the office hours. You will need your Unity ID and password to view the IRB office hours information sheet.
