The Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) offers drop-in virtual office hours to assist investigators plan, develop, prepare, and submit a protocol for IRB review.
The Drop-In Virtual Office Hours are on Mondays at 9:00 am until 10 am and Thursdays at 3:00 pm until 4pm. Feel free to drop in at anytime during that hour.
HRPP Drop-in Zoom Link
We encourage you to notify the HRPP office of your attendance by submitting a copy of your protocol in its current form. Protocols should be emailed to the HRPP mailbox.
In the event you are unable to attend the drop-in hours, you may send an email to the HRPP mailbox to request a date and time. To request office hours please submit 3 to 4 available dates/times allowing up to two weeks to find a scheduled time. You will receive an outlook meeting invitation which will include the Zoom link.
Running Late/No Show
We understand that you may sometimes run late or need to reschedule an office hour appointment. When we make your appointment, please understand we are reserving time for you to speak with a director. This courtesy makes it possible to assist the research community in a timely manner. Please email hrpp@usc.edu as soon as possible if you are running late or if you are no longer able to attend. You are given a 10-minute grace period after which your office hours will need to be rescheduled. No-show appointments will not be given priority when rescheduling.
