Instruction in human subjects protection is required by federal assurance with the Department of Health and Human Services for all investigators and research personnel regardless of the source of funding.

The basic level of instruction in human subjects protection may be met in one of several ways:

After registration, chose either the Biomedical research group or the Social/Behavioral research group and then complete the required modules. Be sure to return to this page and report your completion below.

2. Review the online materials for the Introduction to Clinical Research Methodology curriculum. Note: This curriculum is designed for clinical researchers in bio-medical fields only.
