Mandatory Human Subject Researcher Training

Dr. David P. Norton, Vice President for Research

Effective January 7, 2013, the IRB education requirements must be met in order for a protocol to be
reviewed by IRB-01 (HealthCenter IRB). This includes all investigators, sub-investigators, research
coordinators and any other study staff involved in the conduct of a human subject research study (i.e.:
those previously listed in Addendum A).

The following chart outlines the required training to conduct human subject research; the items in RED
are the new requirements.  The NIH Extramural Education is already required if you obtain NIH funding.
The “Local IRB Video” requirement is currently available and may be accessed via http://my.ufl.edu.
Directions on how to access all of the training modules are located at http://irb.ufl.edu/education/trainreq.htm.    All requirements are available to complete now, but again, it will be mandatory for you to have completed them by January 7, 2013.
