Huron Consulting Group Hosts Webinar Addressing Streamlining IRB Operations

CHICAGO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Huron Consulting Group, a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced a complimentary webinar focused on rationalizing IRB operations. The one hour webinar entitled, “Streamlining IRB Operations Using Flexible Membership Structures,” will take place on Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time.

“Streamlining IRB Operations Using Flexible Membership Structures”

This webinar will provide an overview of the regulatory requirements (and significant regulatory flexibility) associated with assembling an IRB committee, and will provide some alternatives to the standard, and sometimes cumbersome, approach of convening a large board with a broad set of expertise.

The webinar will feature Huron’s Thomas Bechert and Jeffrey H. Silverstein from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Silverstein will share his insights and experiences in developing a small five-member IRB comprised of IRB staff members to supplement the reviews of their existing boards.
