This session will clarify the key similarities and differences between independent and institutional IRBs, helping attendees understand how these variations can affect expectations for accredited organizations in meeting the responsibilities outlined in Standard I-9. Through an interactive discussion, participants will gain practical strategies for collaborating effectively with various IRB types in the context of single IRB review requirements.
