HRPP Advisory Committee

The HRPP Advisory Committee, formed in 2021 as part of the IRB transformation, consists primarily of active researchers from across the University. This committee plays an integral role in advising on key changes for the HRPP and facilitating productive discussion amongst their colleagues and departments. The goals of the Committee include:

  • gathering honest feedback on the transformation,
  • identifying issues in review processes,
  • and assessing the HRPP’s progress and success towards the identified goals.
