This training will provide a high-level overview of working with the IRB at Penn State. We will cover IRB structure, general information about Penn State IRB, and useful information about the CATS IRB system. We will also discuss how to prepare and submit materials via CATS IRB, the web-based application system for IRB submission.

Note: This training DOES NOT count toward SARI credit.
