iRIS Education and Training

iRIS serves as the Protocol Review and Monitoring System (PRMS) for all HCC research.

This page contains educational resources to supplement the detailed guidance and work instructions found on the iRIS WIKI. The goal of these presentations and training tools is to focus on frequently asked questions and topics relevant to the study team, to provide operational guidance, and additional tools and tricks for using iRIS as a researcher.

Please contact ODQEducation@dfci.harvard.edu with questions about the resources on this page.

Please visit the iRIS Readiness Center for additional information and updates related to iRIS.
