Who should complete IRB training?
Regulations require that investigators administering research that has been approved via either expedited or full review must complete training in a timely manner as a condition of the approved research. However, individuals may complete training even if no research is currently planned. Q: What will I learn in Valencia’s IRB training? A: HRP/IRB training is being offered through Leadership Valencia. Part I (2 hours) provides an overview of human research protection and how our IRB works with an aim to be as unintrusive as possible while complying with Federal regulations (completion of this workshop satisfies the IRB training requirement for investigators of approved Valencia projects). Part II (1 hour) walks through the Valencia IRB application process (Part I is a recommended prerequisite).
