Research Education

The Research Education Program at Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago provides education and training opportunities for the entire research community (research professionals and investigators). Our Research Education team works in tandem with Research Administration and Support Services as well as the peer-led research committees to identify and develop resources and content.  

Orientation

Research Orientation for research professionals provides an overview of Manne Research Institute resources and contacts, and assigns and provides supplemental trainings and additional overviews held outside of research education.  

Research Orientation for faculty provides a broad overview of Manne Research Institute and in-depth review of the Office of Research Development to ensure faculty who are engaged in research are familiar with the resources to conduct their research.

Investigator Training

The purpose of the Investigator training program is to provide accessible and ongoing education for new and early-career investigators. The training program focuses on the responsibilities of the investigator in conducting human subjects research and investigator oversight of various types of clinical and social/behavioral research studies. The program may also serve as a refresher training for investigators of any experience level.  Specifically, the program intends to: 

• Provide practical insight on how to effectively oversee the management and integrity of research conducted in the four pillars. 
• Assist with understanding the regulatory requirements, institutional policies, and best practices for different types of research projects. 
• Assist with identifying key resources and contacts for research at Manne Research Institute.
