N10 - An Update from the Consortium to Advance Effective Research Ethics Oversight (AEREO): Progress in Defining and Measuring HRPP and IRB Quality and Effectiveness

Tuesday, November 19, 2024

12:30 PM – 1:30 PM PT

Location: Signature Room

Feel free to bring your lunch to this session!

The AEREO Consortium (www.aereo.org) is a collaborative group of volunteers working to understand what it means for HRPPs/IRBs to "work," identify meaningful measures of HRPP/IRB quality and effectiveness, evaluate how well HRPPs/IRB are working now, and pursue evidence-based ways to help them work better.

This session will describe AEREO's goals, progress to date, and plans for the future, with an invitation to join the Consortium's work. We will share information about AEREO, our mission, who we are and how we work. We will highlight some past, current, and future projects to orient the group to the type of work we do. Then we will share information about AEREO’s vision for IRB reasonableness, supported by “pillars” of HRPP/IRB quality supported by a commitment to participant protection and facilitation of ethical research.

Learning Objectives:

Introduce AEREO
Describe past, current, and future AEREO projects
Introduce the concept of IRB Reasonableness and the core pillars of HRPP/IRB quality
