Preparing for the AAHRPP site visit (March 2021 reviewer education)

This is our year to undergo the process to get reaccredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, or AAHRPP. We’ve already compiled and submitted the sizeable Step 1 application, and are now gearing up for our site visit, scheduled for May 16-18.

The March 2021 IRB reviewer education gives a brief overview of the AAHRPP process and highlights some resources we’ve compiled to help our reviewers prepare for the site visit. Click on the link above to see the slides for this presentation.

For a close look at the reaccreditation process, please make sure to attend an upcoming Zoom class titled Extra (HRPP) Credit:  UAMS’ Journey through the AAHRPP Accreditation Process, scheduled for April 1, 1:30 to 2:30 pm, via Zoom. We will also record the class and post a link to the recording on our website, so you can view it at your convenience later.
