Please register on REPORTER to enroll in a workshop when registration opens 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 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
