Bridging Practices: Deepening Collaboration in Community-engaged Research and IRB Process

Building on last April’s Bridging Perspectives: Navigating Community-Engaged Research and IRB Requirements, this Building Practices colloquium event continues the conversation between researchers, administrators, and the IRB with a focus on answering the pressing questions raised by our community. Together, we will explore:

• Involving undergraduates in community-engaged research
• Navigating IRB requirements in ways that respect cultural, social, and political environments
• Minimizing harm and risk when conducting research with vulnerable populations and community organizations
• Ethical quandaries in community-engaged research that the IRB does not cover

Through dialogue and collective problem-solving, this session seeks to move beyond identifying barriers toward developing clearer practices, stronger collaborations, and more practical strategies between researchers and the IRB for supporting ethical community-engaged research.
