FDA and OHRP Requirements for the Preparation and Maintenance of IRB Meeting Minutes

Course Description

Institutions and institutional review boards (IRBs) are responsible for oversight of human subject research under HHS and FDA regulations. As part of meeting this responsibility, IRBs must prepare and maintain adequate documentation of IRB activities, including minutes of IRB meetings. Unfortunately, IRBs have routinely been cited in OHRP Determination Letters and FDA Warning Letters for failing to prepare and maintain adequate minutes. In this web seminar, we will discuss the FDA and OHRP Joint Guidance on Minutes of IRB Meetings recommendations and the responsibilities of institutions and IRBs in the preparation and maintenance of minutes of IRB meetings to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
