Human Subjects Protection Training
Training Requirements
Persons without adequate training may end up engaging in unethical research practices, which would be considered "research misconduct." This is not only wrong in terms of the treatment of persons serving as research subjects, it can lead to federal sanctions.
Individual Investigators (Faculty, Staff or Students): To conduct research involving human subjects (including handling subject鈥檚 data), you must complete the appropriate training prior to receiving HSIRB approval. You will complete the designated CITI Human Subjects Research (HSR) Course Curricula to either receive approval on a new protocol or to receive a renewal of an active protocol upon expiration.
Research Advisors (Faculty or Staff): All individuals serving as student research advisors supervising student research activity either in or out of the classroom are required to complete one of the CITI Human Subjects Research (HSR) Course Curricula. 裸聊直播鈥檚 CITI Course Curricula, includes four 鈥渓earner groups鈥. You will need to self-identify into one group based on your role in the research project and complete the modules that are required for that learner group.
Research Method Courses Instructors (Instructors): All individuals teaching a Research Methods course where the disciplines鈥 research falls under the category of research as defined by the HSIRB as 鈥渁 systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge鈥 are required to complete one of the CITI Human Subjects Research (HSR) Course Curricula. 裸聊直播鈥檚 CITI Course Curricula, includes four 鈥渓earner groups鈥. You will need to self-identify into the 鈥淪tudents Conducting No More Than Minimal Risk Research鈥 and complete the modules that are required for that learner group.
The learner groups are:
- HSIRB Members & Staff (14 modules)
- Principal Investigators (PI)/Researchers for Biomedical Research & Biomedical Data or Specimens (11 modules)
- PI/Researchers for Social-Behavioral-Educational Research (9 modules)
- Students Conducting No More Than Minimal Risk Research (6 modules)
Depending on your learner group, each module takes approximately 10-25 minutes per
module to complete. Certification will be valid for four years; thereafter, PIs will
be required to take a Refresher Course (an abbreviated version of the initial training)
f or subsequent renewal training.
