Time: 7:30 a.m. -8:45 a.m.
Location: Cancer Institute Floor: 10th Room: Strauss- McCaskill Conference Center
Recorded on: November 15, 2018
Description: Using case studies, this session will focus on risk mitigation in research involving both biomedical and social science methods. Case studies will include piloting initiatives to overcome reluctance to utilize support/recovery services for persons affected by opioid abuse, and an evaluation of an early intervention program to ameliorate psychosocial effects of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in youth who play contact sports. Attendees should have a basic foundation in human research protections ethics and principles, including the criteria for approval and definitions from DHHS and FDA regulations before attending this session. During this session, speakers and attendees will:
Learning Objectives:
•Review the nature of the risks, harms, and impacts associated with mixed SBER/biomedical research
•Explore factors likely to contribute to increased risk in research spanning both medical and social/behavioral arenas
•Discuss how to design research with sufficient protections and minimize risk through study design

Webinar: Real-World Approaches to Informed Consent under the Revised Common Rule
Date: Wednesday, October 23, 2019
Time: 12:00 p.m. -1:15 p.m.
Location: Rahn (College of Public Health) Building Floor: Ground Room: G232
Overview: As the end of the first year of the revised Common Rule era approaches, it’s time for a check-in: how is the human subjects research oversight community doing so far with the new requirements? In particular, how have we acclimated to the revised Common Rule’s implications for informed consent? Many institutions have incorporated the new requirement for a summary of key information to assist potential research subjects in understanding the reasons why they might or might not want to participate in a study. There is less clarity, however, around other items, including return of research results and future use of identifiable data and biospecimens.
In lieu of official guidance, learning from one another is paramount. During this webinar, three panelists will share insights related to their institutional policies and procedures in this area. Join us to discuss successes, challenges, and lessons learned.
Agenda
•Overview of the informed consent requirements in the revised Common Rule ◦New requirements and proposed benefits
◦Challenges that were anticipated prior to the implementation date
◦Broader implications of these requirements for policy and institutional practices
•Real-world experiences from three institutions pertaining to the key information summary ◦New consent form language, training, reception by research subjects, new policies, and future plans
•Challenges and questions pertaining to return of results and future use of identifiable data and biospecimens
•Q&A
What will I learn?
After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
•Describe current challenges, successes, lessons learned, and innovations pertaining to the new informed consent requirements in the revised Common Rule
•Identify strategies that could benefit your organization in adapting to the regulatory changes
