Event Reporting in Human Subjects Research Webinar

Even with the best intentions, research doesn’t always go as planned, and when something does go wrong investigators may be required to report to the Institutional Review Board (IRB). The Office of Responsible Research Practices is offering an educational session on when to notify the IRB about unexpected events, noncompliance concerns, or other problems. At the end of the session, attendees will be able to:

  • Differentiate between investigator, sponsor, and IRB reporting requirements,
  • Describe the Ohio State event reporting process, and
  • Explain definitions using case examples.

While the session will be tailored to medical researchers and research staff, anyone preparing IRB submissions is encouraged to attend. The session will be held on Tuesday, April 25th, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. via CarmenZoom.

Registration is requested at: https://osu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aSr2qAXdTe-pd9qFuYXcZQ.

Webinar: The Implications of Sharing Study Data for Education Researchers

In the era of open science practices, researchers are more frequently being asked to share data from their studies. Multiple federal agencies and private funders have added policies and requirements for their grantees and contractors to share study data. Consistent with this priority and the Standards for Excellence in Education Research (SEER), the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) requires researchers to make data from IES-funded studies available to others, while also protecting the rights of study participants and meeting the requirements of data providers. Such policies, along with growing interest in open science practices, means that many education researchers are looking for practical, achievable strategies for making their data available to others.

In this 90-minute webinar, Ruth Neild from Mathematica will present an overview of IES’s guide, Sharing Study Data: A Guide for Education Researchers, and a panel of researchers will share their expertise and experiences with three key aspects of sharing study data:

  • Managing disclosure risks
  • Documenting and organizing data for other researchers
  • Depositing data for access by other researchers

The session will include a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

Panelists:

  • John Czajka is a Mathematica Senior Fellow Emeritus. Dr. Czajka has expertise on disclosure risk management and has vast experience connected to statistical applications of program administrative data, the analysis of survey data from large national samples, panel studies, and specialized surveys.
  • Jessica Logan is an Associate Professor of Special Education at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College. Dr. Logan is a quantitative methodologist who focuses on improving the data management and data quality practices of researchers in the education sciences, encouraging transparency in science, and improving education researchers’ statistical conclusion validity.
  • John Diamond is MDRC’s lead for Data Management and Integrity and a senior research associate for the Postsecondary Education policy area. He chairs MDRC’s Data Integrity Board, Data Management Initiative, and Data Security Team, and coordinates MDRC’s data sharing with ICPSR at the University of Michigan.

Collaborative and Off-Site Research: Let’s Work Together! Webinar

Do your human subjects research projects involve working with external collaborators? The Office of Responsible Research Practices is offering a session on collaborative research when other institutions and/or non-Ohio State investigators rely on an Ohio State IRB. At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe the purpose and regulatory requirements for reliance agreements,
  • Outline the single IRB (sIRB) model for multi-site research,
  • Navigate the sIRB process specific to reliance on an Ohio State IRB, and
  • Use tools to complete the Buck-IRB application when the research involves external collaborators.

The session will be held on Tuesday, March 21st from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. via CarmenZoom.

CDM & RCT Have a Baby: Methodological Bastard or Clinical Boon? (Virtual Event)

Irwin Epstein, Professor Emeritus at the City University of New York (CUNY) and at the Silberman School of Social Work (Hunter College), will present on the principles, methods, limitations and varied uses of CDM while showing were it “fits” in the broader context of the evidence-based practice and practice-informed research in social work and related fields. Epstein will illustrate how CDM has been employed in practitioner-initiated studies, DSW and PhD dissertations conducted in social work and allied-health settings. He’ll encourage participants to consider ways in which available data can be used in research and describe previous “flirtations” between CDM and RCT methods. Finally, Epstein will announce the birth of a new clinical research paradigm parented by CDM and RCT.
