Mastering the FDA’s Impending sIRB Mandate: Essential Insights & Institutional Success Stories
Nov. 18 from 12:45 – 1:30 p.m. PST
Join us for a live presentation and Q&A session on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) impending single Institutional Review Board (sIRB) mandate and its implications for institutions. The expert panel features representatives from three institutions, Baptist Health South Florida, University of Cincinnati, and University of Florida, that have updated their policies to comply with the mandate. They will share their experiences and best practices for preparing for sIRB requirements. Moderated by WCG, this interactive session will provide a unique opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and learn from peers who have navigated the challenges of sIRB implementation.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the key requirements of the FDA’s impending sIRB mandate: Participants will gain a clear understanding of the regulatory requirements and potential timelines associated with the sIRB mandate, as well as the implications for institutions.
