COM RESEARCH DAY

The College of Medicine Annual Research Day will be held on Friday, April 11, 2003.

A highlight of this event is the presentation of Research Posters by the Faculty. Traditionally, this has served to showcase the ongoing research in the College of Medicine and foster interaction among faculty, fellows and students.

In anticipation of an impressive attendance, we will hold the poster displays in the Shands Hospital Atrium, the Founder's Gallery and the new Health Professions, Nursing and Pharmacy Building. Lunch will be served.

IN THE NEWS
HEALTH CENTER IRB INVESTIGATOR

Research Day and IRB Review

All research involving human subjects (which includes their data, tissue/specimens, actual interventions or interactions) must be reviewed by the IRB before implementation.

All students, residents, and faculty with plans to participate in Research Day must submit proposed research plans to the IRB before the research begins. While most of these projects are academic in nature, and involve little or no risk to participants, it is UF policy to review all proposed research before it is implemented. Human subject protections issues are best resolved before study activities begin, as opposed to afterward.
