Participants: An IRB Guide for Students and Faculty", this
session will share an approach to supporting graduate
and professional students with a training module based
on strategies from teaching and mentoring in research
methods and practice in IRB review, including simple
ways to understand how guiding principles in ethical
research shape IRB protocol review, adopting a
relational approach in research, leveraging coursework
to detail procedural steps in the context of data
collection, planning for special protections when
