Watch and Learn: Educational Modules
The UB CTSI’s Watch and Learn educational module videos are designed to increase the knowledge and performance of clinical researchers at UB and its affiliated institutions in order to help in the development of a large, well-trained workforce of investigators and research teams. These brief videos, ranging from 5 to 30 minutes, offer an overview and/or practical guidance on a wide variety of research-related topics ranging from study development to dissemination of research results.
Study Submission: Topics relevant to the phase in which researchers are preparing to submit their project for approval (or activation) (e.g., application process, submission of study-related documents, review of regulatory and administrative processes).
Discover what defines informed consent, where to find the consent form template, and how to best deliver information to potential subjects.
Researchers need to understand their responsibilities when using the UBIRB as IRB for multi-site research.
Learn the ins and outs of using an external IRB, including researcher responsibilities, requirements from the reviewing IRB, and steps taken by the UB IRB and reviewing IRB.
