What training is required by the IRB before approval is released by the committee?
The IRB requires anyone listed as key personnel on the protocol to take human subjects training. Personnel must provide verification of the completed training by sending a copy of the certificate of completion to the IRB office. If they have not yet completed human subjects training, they may take the course found at this website: http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php. This is a free, web-based training course for those who conduct research that involves human participants. It is not medically based.
