Conducting Multisite Research: Introduction to Virginia Tech and Carilion Clinic Research Collaborations
Research that involves personnel, resources, or information from another institution may require additional training or review. This is because each institution may be subject to different regulatory requirements and the institutions may also have different review processes and criteria for approval.
Carilion Clinic is one of Virginia Tech’s closest research partners. During this webinar representatives from Virginia Tech’s Human Research Protection program will be joined by representatives from the Carilion Clinic Human Research Protections Office to discuss the process and requirements for conducting research that involves both Carilion Clinic and Virginia Tech.

About the Series
The Division of Scholarly Integrity and Research Compliance’s Investigator Series provides researchers with a peer-to-peer forum to share ethical considerations that they make during the design, conduct and dissemination of their research. This style of learning opens the door to new perspectives and meaningful conversations in the pursuit of research excellence.
