Online Research Training Course Options

All researchers using human subjects are required to pass an online research training course. This includes not only the principal investigator but also all co-investigators, research technicians, research assistants, or student assistant who have contact with the research subjects.

A course completion report will be issued upon completion of either course. The report must be printed out and submitted with the protocol materials. Both reports are valid for 3 years from the date of issue.

The NIH course at http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.

The CITI course at http://www.citiprogram.org/ takes a little longer but is recommended for social/ behavioral/educational researchers because of the elective modules which may be tailored to your own field of study.
