This spring ORC engaged external consultants to review the IRB and IACUC office operations. Since then, we have been busy implementing their recommendations. In the fall, we look forward to unveiling updated eForms in InfoEd, new positions, new staff, updated guidance and “how to’s” and a new communications strategy. If you would like an update on our progress at a staff or department meeting, please contact us at orc@clemson.edu. Stay tuned!
