Human participant research ethics (IRB) training is mandatory for all personnel listed on expedited and full board protocols, and must be renewed every 5 years. For NIH-funded clinical trials, research personnel must also complete Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training.
All research personnel listed on an expedited or full board protocol are required to complete human participant research ethics (IRB) training. In cases where the study is NIH-funded and is a "clinical trial", Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training is also required, either through CITI or another institution's ethics program. Personnel listed on exempt protocols are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these trainings; however, at present, the IRB staff will grant exemptions if training is incomplete. All personnel on exempt protocols will be required to complete training later in 2022, date to be announced shortly.
Check CITI Training Records
Researchers can check Course Completion Records (updated every 60 minutes) to ensure personnel listed on their protocols have completed the required training through CITI.
