Mini-Tutorials
OHRP understands that everyone is busy and may not have time for an hour-long video. To meet this need, OHRP created a series of short tutorials (each around 15 minutes long) that focus on specific aspects of HHS human subjects regulations and policy. These mini-tutorials are designed to help human research protections professionals build on their knowledge. OHRP’s materials are intended for public use and distribution, and we invite you to share or link to them from your website.
