How do I write a local protocol/IRB?

What Is A Project Lead? 

A project lead is the person who brought the research project to the collaborative. Their role is to attend an initial onboarding meeting and then provide research updates every three months to help ensure our research hub is up to date! 

For independent projects: as the lead investigator on the project, you are in charge of decision-making on how to execute the plan. Being the lead investigator gives you the ability to recruit co-investigators to assist with your project and find a faculty mentor that will best suit your interest. Think of this role as a modified 'principle investigator' and 'first author' combined. 

What Is An Amsax[Specality Interest] Research Liasion?

Information provided by Specialty Interest Liaisons can be found under the Research Hub, and individual specialites under the Medical Specialties Tab.
