SUBJECT: Mandatory Human Subject Researcher Training

Effective January 7, 2013, the IRB education requirements must be met in order for a protocol to be reviewed by IRB‐01 (Health Center IRB). This includes all investigators, sub‐investigators, research coordinators and any other study staff involved in the conduct of a human subject research study (i.e.: those previously listed in Addendum A).

The following chart outlines the required training to conduct human subject research; the items in RED are the new requirements. The NIH Extramural Education is already required if you obtain NIH funding. The “Local IRB Video” requirement is currently available and may be accessed via https://my.ufl.edu. Directions on how to access all of the training modules are located at Required Training. All requirements are available to complete now, but again, it will be mandatory for you to have completed them by January 7, 2013.
