Join us for a timely webinar featuring Corinna Turbes, Senior Manager of Government Relations at SPARC, who will break down the current state of federal public access policy and what it means for your work.

From shifting funder expectations following the 2022 Nelson Memo, to proposed changes to Uniform Guidance that could eliminate article processing charges (APCs) as allowable expenses, researchers are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape. Turbes will offer a clear-eyed overview of where things stand right now, what's on the horizon, and practical strategies you can use today.

This session will cover:

The current state of federal public access requirements for publications and data

How recent policy shifts affect researchers at all career stages

What proposed changes to Uniform Guidance mean for your grant budget

Resources and support available through KU Libraries

Every research study is different, so the IRB process can be different for each researcher as well. The One Size Does Not Fit All series is a practical three-part series that will help you determine the right path for your study by exploring roles and responsibilities, getting started with IRB review, recruitment and consent methods, and reportable events.

August:
Getting Started: Roles, Responsibilities, and Research Team Expectations
This session will review who can serve as PI, who requires a Faculty Supervisor, what each team member is responsible for, and what is required for IRB submission.
