This session provides a broad system orientation to the Dash Research IRB (DR-IRB) platform. Attendees will gain a high-level overview of the full IRB submission and review process, including initial submission, ancillary review, responding to clarifications, and final determinations. Participants will explore the layout of study workspaces, communication tools, and study statuses, and will have the opportunity to practice navigating the platform in real time. This is a valuable session for anyone—whether new to IRB submissions or experienced—looking to build confidence in the new system ahead of Go-Live, ask questions, and receive support directly from the IRB team.

Fellowships and honors not only advance your research but also boost your visibility and institutional support. This session demystifies the nomination process and offers guidance on building a strong profile for competitive awards. Hear directly from UT faculty who’ve successfully navigated the process and learn how strategic recognition can enhance long-term career growth.

This is a researcher focused workshop.
