Day 1 will be led by OHRP and will provide an opportunity for small group and workshop discussions. This one-day Research Community Forum Workshop combines didactic instruction and engaging interactions to help participants understand how to interpret and apply the U.S. federal regulations and policies on human research protections.
Day 2 will focus on the ethical aspects of conducting human subjects research, focusing on the emerging technologies in the consenting process (mobile platforms & remote consent), issues of subject privacy, considerations for vulnerable populations and the role of trust.

Location
Reno is a high desert landscape set against the backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains in northern Nevada. Reno has experienced an economic growth spurt that has rebooted it with boutique hotels, craft breweries and a thriving art scene. The area is an outdoor lover’s paradise with hiking, mountain biking, rafting and more, just minutes from downtown. Lake Tahoe (located just 30 minutes from downtown Reno) is known for the clarity of its water and the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains on all sides. Located just a few blocks south of our conference hotel is the beautiful Truckee River, which flows right through downtown Reno, and its river-side walking path.
