Objective: Our objective was to generate creative ideas for redesigning our current human research oversight system. Methods: A total of 11 researchers and institutional review board (IRB) professionals participated in a January 2015 design thinking workshop to develop ideas for redesigning the IRB system. Results: Ideas in 5 major domains were generated. The areas of focus were (1) improving the consent form and process, (2) empowering researchers to protect their participants, (3) creating a system to learn from mistakes, (4) improving IRB efficiency, and (5) facilitating review of research that leverages technological advances. Conclusions: We describe the impetus for and results of a design thinking workshop to reimagine a human research protections system that is responsive to 21st century science. %M 28007687 %R 10.2196/jmir.6634 %U http://www.jmir.org/2016/12/e329/ %U https://doi.org/10.2196/jmir.6634 %U http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28007687
