B11 - [IN-PERSON ONLY] How to Cultivate a Vibrant HRPP Team

This session is being held in-person only at PRIMR23. It will not be recorded for on-demand access or for the PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting.

The origin stories of seasoned HRPP/IRB professionals often include tales of unexpected beginnings that just so happened to turn out well. What would it look like to stumble across or be invited into a community eager to bring in new people and new perspectives? How can we, as a community, explore new opportunities for growth and diversity? In this session, attendees will hear from seasoned HRPP/IRB professionals who can provide guidance on what they would have liked to know early-on in their careers and advice on what to consider during career progression; what makes a good HRPP/IRB professional (spoiler: it’s not just about certification!); and what strategies are recommended to expand the pathways to the HRPP/IRB for members from historically marginalized communities. This session will also review different opportunities for education, mentorship (e.g., webinars, PRIM&R's Mentoring Program, etc.), and pathways for career progression (e.g., leadership, non-leadership, IRB operations, post-approval monitoring, etc.).
