Do you have an external collaborator apart of your study team? Is an external institution/university serving as the IRB of record? What is a local contextual review? Researchers can attend this workshop to learn about appropriately adding external collaborators to their study team as well as appropriately deferring ASU IRB oversight to an external IRB. This event will be presented by the ASU IRB staff within the Office of Research Integrity and Assurance.

Do you want to submit your human subjects research study to the ASU IRB, but not sure where to begin? Do you even know who the ASU IRB is and what we do? Researchers can attend this workshop to learn about the ASU IRB, application process, required materials, and how to submit in the Enterprise Research Administration (ERA) system. This event will be presented by the ASU IRB staff within the Office of Research Integrity and Assurance.

ASU's Enterprise Research Administration system (ERA) provides an integrated platform for the administration of research and sponsored projects at ASU. ASU Researchers use this portal to submit IRB application materials for review. Researchers can attend this workshop to gain knowledge on how to navigate the ERA system to better understand the ASU IRB submission process. This event will be presented by the ASU IRB staff within the Office of Research Integrity and Assurance (ORIA).

Elise Paietta is a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Varsani laboratory and is interested in animal ecology, evolution, health, and conservation with a focus on the overlap between anthropogenic change and infectious disease in primates. Elise graduated from the University of Notre Dame in Spring 2020 where she majored in Biological Sciences. Her undergraduate research as part of the Amboseli Baboon Research Project focused on the drivers and consequences of human encounters in the Amboseli baboons.

Dr. Melissa Liebert is a biocultural anthropologist and human biologist who studies the pathways through which social, cultural, and environmental factors become biologically embodied to influence human variation in stress, health, and life history patterns. Her research integrates aspects of human evolutionary biology and adaptability with historical, sociocultural, and political-economic contexts to offer a holistic understanding of human wellbeing with the goal of addressing health inequities for underrepresented and medically underserved populations.

Sterling Wright is currently working with Dr. Corrie Whisner in the College of Health Solutions. Working with her, he is interested in understanding the relationship between sociocultural interactions and human health by studying their effects on the maternal and infant gut microbiome. Specifically, he is a key member in analyzing multiomics data for the SnuggleBug project. Prior to coming to ASU, he completed his PhD in Anthropology at Pennsylvania State University (2024). His doctoral research also focuses on the oral microbiome and how it intersects with human health.
