Training

The Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) offers presentations on a variety of topics related to human subjects research. These presentations are designed to provide information on topics of interest to Principal Investigators, Study Coordinators, Research Staff, Student Researchers and anyone else involved in Human Subject Research at Tulane. These presentations are open to all members of the Tulane research community.

HRPO Releases Fall 2026 Presentation Series Schedule

The Tulane Human Research Protection Office will host a series of Educational Presentations for the Research Community at Tulane. The Fall 2026 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. We Hear You and are Here to Help!
