Is the UNC-Chapel Hill “HIPAA and Research” training module a requirement?
Yes, all researchers completing CITI training are required to complete the UNC-Chapel Hill “HIPAA and Research” module, which is included as the last module. This includes faculty, staff and students involved with human subjects research, regardless of what other HIPAA training you might have received at UNC or elsewhere. This module on “HIPAA and Research” is in addition to, but does not replace, any HIPAA training required by health care providers and/or covered entities (e.g., UNC Health Care and other covered units at UNC-Chapel Hill).
