Float-n-a-Flick is a movie being shown in the pool area while you float around, sit around, or just hang out on the pool deck with other UMB students and staff. UrecFit will provide floats and noodles for people to use, but be sure to arrive early to guarantee your float. You may bring your own but it must be approved by the aquatics staff before it can be placed in the pool.

Consent Form Review for New Investigators
HS/HSL Reference Department |
Are you an investigator preparing a research protocol submission to the IRB?
This new service may be of interest!
HS/HSL librarians serving on the UMB Institutional Review Board have noticed that many research consent forms are written above the recommended reading level for patients and are often confusing and difficult to understand. The Reference Department is now offering a pilot service to review your consent form before it is submitted with your protocol. They will offer suggestions for simplified language and note key sections that need revision or are likely to be confusing for patients. They will return the form to you with these suggestions within three business days. You can submit your consent forms on the HS/HSL Web site to www.hshsl.umaryland.edu/assistance/irb (in the Assistance section).
If you have any questions, please call Debra Berlanstein at 410.706.8862 |
