Past: Between January 6th, 2003 and April 10th, 2003, IRB-01 offered over 35 different research-related HIPAA training sessions. All Investigators were required to attend one of those training sessions, and other study personnel were strongly recommended to attend. Click here to view the letter from Dr. Phillips and Dr. Iafrate about mandatory HIPAA training. Prior to June 2004 only Investigators were required to undergo HIPAA training. Others participating in research (e.g. research nurses, support staff preparing IRB or research paperwork, students assisting in the study, etc) were not required to complete training, but were strongly encouraged. Effective 6/10/2004 everyone participating in research (including but not limited to the principal investigator, sub-investigators, study coordinator, and staff/students preparing research paperwork or collecting data) must complete the "HIPAA for Researchers" training. Present: If you are involved in human subject research, the UF Privacy Office requires you to complete the training module belwo and sign the UF Confidentiality Statement once every 12 months to be in compliance with Privacy Office requirements. No other training is required by the Privacy Office for individuals conducting human subject research. The "HIPAA for Research" training can be completed on-line at: http://privacy.health.ufl.edu/training/Research08/online.shtml NOTE: IRB-01 will not review new research studies if the principal investigator has not been completed training. Future: Renew your training with the Privacy Office annually.
