Education, News & Events: Annual Conference

 

 

Welcome to the 2026 AAHRPP Annual Conference and AAHRPP's 25th Anniversary!  

Celebrate 25 years of leadership, integrity, and impact at the AAHRPP Annual Conference, an inspiring in-person and virtual event that brings together the HRPP community to honor our past and shape the future of ethical research. This milestone year marks not only a celebration of how far we’ve come, but a call to imagine what’s next for human research protection.

Over three thought-provoking days, engage in dynamic sessions exploring the evolving landscape of research oversight: from the ethics of compensating participants to navigating new funding realities and sustaining excellence amid change. Through interactive learning and lively discussion, you’ll gain fresh strategies, practical insights, and renewed motivation to strengthen your program and the broader HRPP community.

As AAHRPP celebrates a quarter century of advancing trust and accountability in research, this conference invites us all to reflect on our shared achievements and look confidently toward the future of our field—one defined by innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to participants.

Stay tuned...more information about the conference agenda and registration are coming soon!
