East Stroudsburg University

According to the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) under the US Department of Health and Human Services, beginning in October, 2001, every investigator applying to the IRB for research involving human research participants must document that they have completed the OHRP or similar education and training program. An IRB protocol application will not be approved until the Principal Investigator (PI) submits a certificate of completion from an approved training program.

To complete the education in the protection of human research participants required by Federal mandate, please visit http://cme.nci.nih.gov

The Human Participant Protections Education for Research Teams course takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete and it is possible to begin, stop, and continue the educational module over several days time. Upon completion of the module, print the certificate and submit with all IRB Research Review Requests.
