Been There, Done That

For those of you who don't know me, I thought I'd introduce myself. Like the title of this posting says, I've "been there, done that" with regard to HRPPs. I started out as a researcher and teaching research methodology in Psychology. I then was an IRB administrator for twenty years (I started on month after the Belmont Report was published - May 1979). After that I was a "fed", serving as Director of Education at OHRP for four years. For two years I was an Institutional Official at a medical school and I am now an independent consultant in human research protections. So, I've seen it from all sides and I'm still seeing new things in this field.
