This Workshop is being offered in-person only; advanced registration is required.

The role of the IO is complex and has broad responsibility for supporting and protecting the research environment, including understanding and maintaining compliance with the federal regulations for the protection of human subjects, vertebrate animals, conflicts of interest/commitment, and research security. The programs under the auspices of the IO must proactively anticipate and support research needs to protect research participants, funding, researchers, and the institution’s reputation. The IO must ensure that the institution has a robust integrated infrastructure with appropriate resources. In this dynamic session, speakers will put a broad set of issues on the table for discussion, including: assessing and balancing the relative benefits and risks of all research, including research with both humans and laboratory animals; recruiting, developing, and retaining talent; promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the office and on committees; integrating compliance and support infrastructure; managing unfunded mandates; and assessing programs and maintaining accreditation. This session is intended to be dynamic and rapid paced, in order to cover topics that IOs are currently faced with or should be anticipating and to provide an opportunity to develop networks. Upon conclusion of the course, a dedicated reception for course participants will be held at the room for further networking.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key challenges currently faced by IOs and anticipate future issues relevant to their roles
  • Strategize effective methods and approaches for addressing common and emerging issues in their work, such as ethical considerations in research, talent development, diversity, equity, inclusion, and the management of unfunded mandates
  • Establish professional connections with other IOs, fostering a collaborative environment for the exchange of ideas, best practices, and solutions to shared challenges
  • Note: A boxed lunch will be offered to those attending full day Workshops or a morning AND afternoon Workshop (those only attending one half day Workshop are not eligible for lunch on this day).
