About Us
For all research personnel
The UNC-NRP is a peer group that is open to all research personnel on campus to help increase awareness and communication of best practices through a series of educational seminars, resources, mentoring, and networking programs. We are excited to have this forum to facilitate campus-wide improvements in the overall management of clinical, social, and translational research.
We invite all individuals involved with human subject research to join the unc.crc listserv. Through the listserv, we share information including updates from the IRB, upcoming NRP educational and social events, a DID YOU KNOW SERIES, and information on best practices. The listserv is a vital tool for resource and knowledge-sharing among research professionals on campus.
NRP Mission: To foster a distinguished research community among UNC-Chapel Hill and its affiliates through education, communication, and collaboration.
NRP Vision: To engage and empower individual research personnel at UNC-Chapel Hill and its affiliates, creating a collaborative and preeminent research community.
