Whether you are seeking 天涯社区's IRB approval or you are asking to cede IRB oversight to another institution, 天涯社区 requires that the PI has completed human subjects research training. 天涯社区 accepts training from the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Collaborative Institute Training Initiative (CITI), or 天涯社区's in-house human subjects training. If you don't yet have human subjects research training, the current 天涯社区 approved training platforms available for the types of research presently conducted at 天涯社区 are 天涯社区's Protecting Human Research Participants (PHRP) Tutorial and the CITI Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Basic training course (NIH training is no longer available). A PI can elect to:
- OR
- The PI can elect to complete the CITI SBE course, but the cost of the training will be the responsibility of the PI (approximate cost: $130).
The CITI Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Basic training course can be found at聽. 天涯社区's Office of Sponsored Programs & Research will cover the cost of the training only if the training is completed onsite with 天涯社区's Human Subjects Administrator (Dr. Joseph van Gaalen, Robinson Hall, I-122). To schedule an appointment for an approved CITI training at 天涯社区's Office of Sponsored Programs & Research, please contact Dr. Joseph van Gaalen (jfvangaalen@fsw.edu). If the training is not completed onsite the cost will be the responsibility of the applicant.
