What we’ll ask you
Not box-checking — genuine protection of participants and integrity. Everyone also answers a few shared questions on research integrity and why this work. You answer these in your private portal after verifying your email — a reviewer reads them, and they’re never scored by a machine.
- Walk us through how you'd think about whether a botanical study triggers IND requirements, and how you'd handle the uncertainty there.
- Describe a time you held a line on participant protection, quality, or regulatory compliance when it was inconvenient or unpopular.
- How do you approach an IRB submission, a reportable event, or a CAPA so it genuinely protects participants rather than just satisfies a checklist?
- Tell us about your regulatory, IRB/HRPP, or quality experience and the most consequential issue you handled. (optional)
