HRPO Releases Fall 2025 Presentation Series Schedule
The Tulane Human Research Protection Office will host a series of Educational Presentations for the Research Community at Tulane. The Fall 2025 Presentation Series will include information and updates you need regarding your submissions to the HRPO and IRB. In addition, this year’s series will also include presentations from the University Privacy Office and the Conflict-of-Interest Administrators for the University. The goal of this series is to answer questions we have received over the past year, and to address any concerns or issues researchers have regarding the presentation topics.
