INSPIR II Super-User Consultants
Thirty experienced research personnel have volunteered to serve as INSPIR-II consultants for the rest of our research community. These people come from an array of schools/departments/sections and have had extensive experience with the former INSPIR system and with working with the IRB. They have now received additional, in-depth training in INSPIR-II. They are available to answer questions about navigating the new INSPIR-II system and how to perform the usual tasks of preparing and submitting IRB applications. If you have a question that they can’t answer, they can help get your question answered by the IRB office. Check out the list of names at the link below. Feel free to contact any of them with your questions. And sincere thanks to these thirty volunteers who are playing such an important role in the transition to INSPIR-II.
