There are numerous programs available to interested researchers and Independent IRB will accept documentation from these training programs as evidence of compliance with this requirement. If an Investigator does not have documentation of HRP training, Independent IRB provides access to a program for this purpose. This training program is known as Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). For more information, see HRP Training.
Participant Protection
