New seminar series: Facts and pitfalls of observational studies – How to plan and conduct HRO projects
27.02.2024 – Human research is more than clinical trials. HRO projects (HRO = Human Research Ordinance) are observational studies and further use-projects – this includes projects that are based on the collection or further use of biological material and/or health-related data.
These projects account for almost 80% of projects submitted to the ethics committees. As the range of possible projects is large, it is often challenging to keep track of qualitative, regulatory and legal requirements.
This lunch seminar series offers brief overviews and space for questions on important topics related to HRO projects (observational studies). As researchers, you can shape the focus of the individual events by submitting your specific questions in advance. This ensures that the seminars are tailored to your needs.
Do you have questions about your observational HRO project? Register for one or more of the dates below to receive brief and concise information on each topic - "HRO in a nutshell", so to speak.
