Education, Training Guidance

All investigators and research staff are required to complete human subject research protections education.  Each individual research protocol must follow the reviewing IRB's requirements for training education. If your IRB requires other types of education, please contact the appropriate site personnel for further instructions (IRB information links). Please follow your individual site’s requirement for providing certificates of completion for required training modules.

OHRP offers no-cost online Human Research Protection Training, with available completion certificates, providing foundational knowledge on protecting human subjects in research funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Check out the training on OHRP’s website: https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/education-and-outreach/human-research-protection-training/index.html

If you have questions regarding the specifics of the training modules at your site, please contact your individual IRB Administrator/IRB Office.
