Presented at: MRCT Center webinar and public launch, “Supporting IRB Efforts to Advance Diversity and Inclusion in Clinical Research”
Does the IRB play a role in addressing the problem of diversity, inclusion, and equity in clinical research? It is true that the need for change must be systemic and embraced at all levels of the clinical research enterprise, and while IRBs are not the primary driver for assuring diversity, inclusion, and equity in clinical research, IRBs can and should serve as a checkpoint for reviewing research for the principles of DEI. This webinar introduced tools and resources created for IRBs and HRPPs to help drive the change.

The IRB can play an important role in championing the creation of research materials for participants that are clear and understandable. Please join us as we launch a new online Health Literacy training for IRB members and staff. The webinar launch will review health literacy concepts and introduce the online training which is designed to be a self-paced opportunity to learn and apply health literacy principles to the IRB role. The training also offers a facilitation guide to support continued conversations with colleagues about how to implement lessons learned.
