ACIRB Human Subjects Protection Training

培训要求

All key personnel listed on review applications submitted to the beat365在线体育投注 Institutional Review 董事会 (ACIRB) must complete training in the protection of human subjects before an application will be reviewed. Data collection and contact with human subjects cannot start until project approval is received from the ACIRB.

Key personnel include the principal investigator, co-principal investigators, supervising 教师 member and any other individuals who will have contact with the participants or the participants' data (e.g., interviewers, transcribers, coders, etc.).

beat365在线体育投注 subscribes to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program for ACIRB members, 教师, 学生, staff and UnityPoint 健康 – Waterloo team members. The ACIRB will also accept National Institutes of 健康 (NIH) Protecting Human Research Participants Training. Certification of training from other providers may be submitted and will be evaluated by the ACIRB for adequacy and appropriateness on an individual basis.

Training certificates are honored for a five (5) year period beginning on the date that the training was completed (not on the date of submission to the ACIRB). The date training was completed can be found on the certificate of training given by the provider after the course is successfully completed. Once the 5-year anniversary date is reached, a new human subjects protections training course must be completed to sustain project approval.

To complete or renew training, go to http://www.citiprogram.org 

Users of beat365在线体育投注’s CITI Program subscription must be affiliated with beat365在线体育投注, UnityPoint 健康 – Waterloo or the Black Hawk County Iowa 健康 Department. Investigators and key personnel who are seeking ACIRB review but are not affiliated with any of these organizations may obtain permission to complete training through beat365在线体育投注’s CITI Program subscription by submitting a request to ACIRB@AllenCollege.edu.

New users must register and will initially be prompted to affiliate with an organization. After affiliating with beat365在线体育投注, new users should follow the prompts to complete the registration process. Registered users may choose from among three CITI Program training options:

• 生物医学研究人员
• Social-Behavioral-Educational Researchers
• 健康 Department Researchers

beat365在线体育投注 学生 should consult with their program 教师 to determine which training they should complete. Only beat365在线体育投注 IRB members should complete the IRB Members and Administration courses.

Investigators who complete training in the protection of human subjects using beat365在线体育投注’s CITI Program subscription may renew training by completing an abbreviated renewal course within three years of the initial training. Training that is more than three years old is not eligible for a renewal course.

Proof of training in the protection of human subjects must be linked or attached to the review application in the Cayuse IRB system. Training completed through beat365在线体育投注’s CITI subscription should be linked to the Cayuse IRB application using the “people finder” tool. Certificates of training completed through other providers or the CITI subscriptions of other institutions must be uploaded as attachments to the application in Cayuse IRB.
