I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the recent conference.  I cannot remember the last conference I went to where I got so much valuable information.  Every session had so much that was really helpful to my IRB practice and I have already brought some suggestions back to possibly implement some of the things I learned...at my current institution.   I look forward to being able to attend future AAHRPP conferences.

"...I highly recommend the virtual option as a great way to attend the conference. It was easy to review and enjoy the different posters (online). The AV team at the conference did a great job to make sure audio and visual connections stayed strong."

…In a time of pressure on funding, why would we spend money on AAHRPP accreditation? I can tell you now from a sponsor perspective, when we see an institution, organization, CRO that's AAHRPP accredited, we breathe a sigh of relief…It gives us reassurance that human subjects are protected…when we see that badge of approval, it gives us immense confidence that institutions are doing the right things...
