Education & Outreach
The Office of Research Compliance (ORC) is committed to increasing our presence and availability to the TCU research community. Our education and outreach program started in Fall 2022. Whether it’s Cayuse or TCU policy updates, to any changes in federal regulations, you can now be well informed about all things from your ORC as it is related to human subject research. We will have several opportunities for faculty and students to receive IRB education and training. These include the IRB 101 – Bootcamp, IRB Office Hours, Human Research Protection Learning Series, and Consultation/ Classroom Education Requests.
IRB 101 – Cayuse Bootcamp
*This training session will be offered every semester*
Come learn about the IRB and the specific processes involved for human subject research. We will also offer a Cayuse Boot Camp to help familiarize you with the online system before you prepare your submissions for review and approval.
Spring 2024 – The IRB 101 training session will be held in person at Scharbauer Hall, Room 1010 on January 31st from 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
