All investigators are required to attach a certificate, no older than two calendar years, indicating completion of the tutorial on the protection of human research subjects when a protocol is submitted to the IRB for review. This training can be accessed at http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php?. Under Course Accreditation, click on Option 3 - "Completion Certificate only, no continuing education credits" (no charge).
Upon completion of the tutorial, print the completion certificate and attach a copy of it to your IRB application. Documentation of completion of an approved education program must be on file with the IRB before protocols can be reviewed and research on human subjects can be conducted.
