HUMAN SUBJECTS RESEARCH -
Back
Dr. Hayden "Bud" Braine has accepted
the position of Director of Research Coordinator Education, effective
July 1, 2003. He will lead educational efforts for research coordinators
in the School of Medicine. Research coordinators are a critical
part of our research infrastructure. In his new role, Bud will
work with leadership in the School of Nursing to provide coordinators
with the most recent information related to the conduct of research
and opportunities for continuing professional development.
In this role, Bud will have the advantage
of his tremendous experience as a leader in the Department of
Oncology and his distinguished service as an IRB chair. In order
to devote time to this new and important responsibility, Bud will
unfortunately have to step down as chair of IRB 4. All of us are
grateful for his contributions and leadership of IRB 4, especially
given the difficult time of the last 2 years. His will be big
shoes to fill but we are committed to recruiting additional oncology
expertise to the IRBs.
