The series kicked off on Thursday, January 31, with a presentation by Joe Brown, UNO Professor of Psychology and Vice Chair of the UNMC/UNO Institutional Review Board, who will share insights regarding "Recruitment and Compensation for Research Subjects: What is Ethical." The series continues with monthly presentations in February, March, and April and features speakers who will discuss various human subject research topics.
