Research Compliance

Institutional Review Board Training

Annual training of all investigators submitting protocols is required, regardless of whether the project is funded or unfunded. Under federal regulations a research activity involving a human being cannot commence until all persons involved are appropriately trained. This educational requirement includes not only training for the principal investigator but also training for co-investigators, students and any personnel on the project who will be collecting data or intervening with the human subject. This requirement comes as a condition of UA’s IRB registration and Federalwide Assurance (FWA) through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The training requirement maybe fulfilled by completing the appropriate training module for either medical or non-medical research.
