Meeting Attendance

Principal Investigators are encouraged to attend the monthly IBC meeting. PI’s will be sent an invitation with a specific timeslot to discuss their IBC application with the committee. Attendance of meetings provides an opportunity for research members to clarify questions or concerns the committee may have to expedite the approval process.

Per NIH Guidelines when possible and consistent with the protection of privacy and proprietary interests the IBC meetings are open to the public. If you would like to attend an IBC Monthly Meeting, please send an invitation request to ricibc@txstate.edu for that specific meeting.
