This repository is a placeholder for D-Lab's IRB Fundamentals workshop. See the following links to access the materials:
Are you starting a research project at UC Berkeley that involves human subjects? If so, one of the first steps you will need to take is getting IRB approval. Numerous questions can come to mind when first negotiating getting a project approved. When should you apply? Does your project require review, and if so, what kind?
This course will walk you through the process of getting IRB approval for your project. After this course, you will approach getting your project approved with confidence that will save you time and avoid potential delays. Specifically, we will:
- Describe the origins of the institutional review board and its purpose.
- Introduce you to IRB at UC Berkeley.
- Walk through the different types of protocols to determine the best one for your project.
- Create a protocol and explain in-depth the different portions that make up your protocol.
- Discuss the review and amendment process.
D-Lab works with Berkeley faculty, research staff, and students to advance data-intensive social science and humanities research. Our goal at D-Lab is to provide practical training, staff support, resources, and space to enable you to use R for your own research applications. Our services cater to all skill levels, and no programming, statistical, or computer science backgrounds are necessary. We offer these services in the form of workshops such as R Fundamentals, one-to-one consulting, and working groups that cover a variety of research topics, digital tools, and programming languages.
