Reminder to Use New CWRU Informed Consent Form
With the implementation of the revised Common Rule on January 21, 2019, the CWRU IRB requires that a new informed consent template be used for all projects; the old version will not be accepted. The new template is available online in the Sparta IRB Library under Templates (CWRU Informed Consent Document Template, HRP-506SBER) For additional guidance on informed consent under the revised Common Rule, please visit the IRB website.
New CREC Courses Available
New courses are available through the CITI program for 6 credits:
- Advanced Topics in Informed Consent
- Advanced Topics in Vulnerable Populations
- Revised Common Rule
Please contact Sue Ambro with any additional questions.
On Oct. 31, Duo Security will be added to the University’s Box service (cwru.box.com). Users enrolled in Duo will experience a similar process logging in to Box as they do for PeopleSoft Financials and PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (HCM). Read more about this change at The Daily.
For assistance with Box, Duo Security or any other technology product or service at Case Western Reserve University, contact the [U]Tech Service Desk at help@case.edu or 216.368.HELP (4357) or visit help.case.edu.
Accommodation vs. Accessibility
What is the difference between Accommodation and Accessibility? In a nutshell, Accommodation is specific to an individual and is a reaction to the need for that individual, while Accessibility provides options to everybody and is a proactive approach. A student with a documented disability has to register with Disability Resources to receive accommodations based on their specific abilities and restrictions. The types of accommodations can vary depending on the needs of the individual student, and solutions can be simple or more involved.
