HRPP Director

Compliance is table stakes. Strategy is the job.

Who this is for

Directors responsible for the strategy, budget, and staffing of the human research protection program as a whole.

You were promoted because you were the best regulatory mind in the office. The job you got is running a business unit: budget, headcount, institutional politics, and a multi-year strategy nobody handed you. This is the pilot track — the first ROLA cohort starts here.

What it covers

  • Program strategy: building a multi-year roadmap and a business case for HRPP investment your CFO will actually read
  • Budget ownership, cost-recovery models, and justifying headcount with data
  • Leading through mergers, single-IRB transitions, and multi-site reliance agreements
  • Representing the program externally — to accreditors, sponsors, and federal regulators

Your capstone

A strategic plan for your own HRPP — developed across the program with faculty and peer feedback, and presented at the in-person summit to a room that understands exactly how hard it was to write.
