For over 40 years, PRIM&R has hosted educational events where professionals gather to deconstruct, discuss, and debate issues affecting the world of research ethics and oversight and to network with colleagues in the field.

The 2017 Advancing Ethical Research (AER) Conference will bring together more than 2,300 professionals from public and private institutions, the federal government, industry, and academia.
Attendees learn about ethical issues and best practices for the review and monitoring of bio-medical research, and faculty explore strategies for better understanding how to assess risk, optimizing the flexibility inherent in the federal regulations, and evaluating qualitative versus quantitative research, among other topics.
