Description:

Please join us on Wednesday, June 18, for our monthly IRB Brown Bag Session led by Kim Rowan, Senior Education and Communication Analyst from the IRB Office. Whether you’re navigating the early stages of a study or preparing to close one out, understanding what research records to keep, how to store them, and for how long can feel overwhelming. This session will break it all down: covering what makes up a research record, when to start thinking about retention, when the official retention timeline begins, and managing research records in electronic and hard copy formats. Attendees will walk away with helpful tools, resources, and best practices for records retention to make the process easier to navigate, more organized, and aligned with institutional and regulatory requirements.
