IRB Office Hours

IRB staff are holding virtual office hours open to the UCR research community. IRB Office Hours provide researchers with the opportunity to discuss questions about the IRB process and have introductory conversations about upcoming projects.

Please note, IRB Office Hours are not 1-on-1 meetings. IRB Office Hours are intended to have a forum-like atmosphere where researchers can ask questions on a first come first served basis.

Office hours will not be held on UCR holidays and may be canceled due to unexpected absences.
