IRB On-Line Training Course
Federal guidelines require that institutions train members of the research community in the conduct of research. The Belmont Report is required reading for members of the research community doing human subjects research and is also covered along with other materials in the CITI program training.
The CITI program is a nationally recognized training program, which allows you to self-enroll. Completion of this training is required for all research that is not Exempt and the training is good for three years.
