Boston, MA
Agenda

For over 40 years, PRIM&R has hosted educational events where professionals gather to learn, deconstruct, discuss, and debate issues related to human subjects protections, research ethics, and oversight, and to network with colleagues in the field.

The 2019 Social, Behavioral, and Educational Research Conference (SBER19) will bring together nearly 500 professionals from public and private institutions, the federal government, industry, and academia. This conference will include one keynote, one plenary session, and 24 breakouts sessions designed to help build and strengthen effective human subjects protections programs that oversee SBER.

During this one day meeting, attendees will learn about ethical issues and the federal regulations governing human subjects SBER, best practices for the review and monitoring of SBER, changes to the Common Rule as they relate to SBER, and other timely and late-breaking topics.
