Jean Eby is the Director of Human Subjects Research Education in the Office of the Vice-President for Research. In this role she serves as the education lead for the University Human Research Protection Program. The focus of her work is education in research ethics, regulations, and methodology.

She is the leader of the BIMS/PHS Research Ethics course that provides NIH-mandated training in the Responsible Conduct of Research. She develops short educational “learning shots” that provide voiced-over Power Point presentations on a variety of human subjects research topics (e.g. informed consent issues, comparative effectiveness research, and single IRB review).
Dr. Eby is active in the Virginia IRB Consortium, which offers education and networking opportunities for human research protection professionals and researchers throughout the Commonwealth. She also serves on the University of Virginia Conflict of Interest Committee.
An epidemiologist by training, Dr. Eby has taught epidemiology at both the graduate and undergraduate levels for many years.

She also is Director of the Master of Science in Clinical Research Program.
Dr Eby’s two main areas of interest are in research methodology, regulations, and ethics and population health (specifically the role of physical activity).
