Course Description

The PHS Human Subjects & Clinical Trial Information Form is crucially important to application success. I provide a wide array of sample text to accompany the step-by-step instructions. I will point you to the best NIH resources and offer tips for circumstances where the answer to your question is not obvious or clear -- which occurs with surprising frequency, given the myriad types of human subjects projects! I will conclude with a discussion of the mistakes I most commonly see reviewers identify in both designing and writing these projects. If done poorly, this form can tank the review of a human subjects application; it's important to get it right!

If you have questions about your specific application or circumstances, please come to one of our live sessions (bi-weekly live Q & A, First Fridays office hours, and Bootcamps) to discuss with Dr. Bouvier. These 1:1 live opportunities are included in your Membership.
