Human Subjects in Research Seminar for Faculty and Students

January 31, 2012 @ 3:30pm-5:00pm in BSB Room C206.

The University, the Institutional Review Board (IRB), and individual investigators share a collective responsibility to ensure that research involving human subjects is guided by the highest ethical standards and is conducted in compliance with federal, state and university regulations governing such research. Please join Dr. Michael Sherr, IRB chair, and IRB support staff to discuss ethical and regulatory underpinnings of human subjects research, training required of Baylor investigators, and the Baylor project review and approval process. The seminar will include "how to" demonstrations of CITI, which Baylor uses for online training, and IRBNet, which we use for online protocol submission and review.

CITI Training

To assist the IRB and investigators in meeting these requirements, the OVPR maintains an institutional subscription to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI), a resource of online training modules that provides Baylor investigators convenient access to comprehensive and regularly updated human subjects research guidance.

Effective at the beginning of Academic Year 2011-2012, the IRB will require that all investigators complete these core training modules and upload completion certificates with their IRBNet protocol submissions.
