INFO: Survey on experiences with IRBs for researchers in aging

If you've already done this, THANKS! If you haven't yet, please take a few minuties to do it.

And if you started before and stopped, please consider dropping me a quick e-mail to let me know why you stopped before finishing: bknight@usc.edu

Along with some colleagues in Australia, I'm working on collecting information on IRB practices related to aging research. We're interested in issues raised by IRBs that are specific to research on older adults. The on-line survey is anonymous and should take about 15 to 20 minutes. It has been approved by the USC University Park IRB as exempt research.

The URL for the survey is:
