Recommended Educational Opportunities

The Rutgers Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) and IRB offer eIRB+ Virtual Training Workshops. These Zoom-based workshops are designed to provide a step-by-step tutorial on using the electronic submission system known as eIRB+ and offer a Q&A session. They are open to all Rutgers faculty, staff, and students.
To register for a workshop, visit crs.rutgers.edu, the Research Course Registration System (CRS). Registration is mandatory to secure your spot, and you'll receive a confirmation along with the Zoom meeting link directly from the CRS system. Please be aware that sessions without confirmed registration 2 days before the session date will be automatically canceled. If you've registered but can't attend, kindly withdraw your registration within 24 hours of the session.
The workshops typically run for about an hour, sometimes longer. Feel free to leave early if needed. The instructor will share post-session resources (but not the full PowerPoint) via email.
