Education and Training Requirements

All investigators and key study personnel (nurses, CRA’s, students) are required to meet the initial training requirements in human research subjects protection prior to their involvement in the research. This training is offered through an online course by the National Institute of Health and the National Cancer Institute. DMH IRB also requires that all investigators and key study personnel submit their curriculum vitae and a copy of their current license (if applicable).

The training for human research subjects protection can be completed on the following website:

National Cancer Institute http://phrp.nihtraining.com

Once you completed all the modules and the test, you must obtain a copy of your completion certificate from this website and submit to the IRB office. The website will direct you how to obtain this certificate.

Research will not proceed without the NIH training listed above or without submitting the required documents to the IRB.

All investigators will need to complete new investigator training with the IRB Administrator. Any new IRB board members will need to complete the above requirements plus additional training with the IRB Administrator. Please contact Denette Roulinson, CIP, CCRP, IRB Administrator, at 217-876-4756 to set up this training.
