What Training is Required?

All employees, faculty, staff, students and/or agents of Emory University engaged in the conduct of human subject research must have reviewed and be familiar with the principles of “The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research”, along with applicable Federal and State laws and institutional policies regarding Human Subjects Research.

• Prior to submitting research protocols for review and approval by the EU IRB, all research personnel listed on an Emory IRB submission, regardless of their role, must complete the web-based Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) Program in the Protection of Human Subjects in Research available at CITI Program. 
• Investigators on FDA-regulated clinical trials will also need to complete additional training in clinical research conduct, per Emory policy. 
• Investigators and staff on NIH-funded study that meet the definition of "clinical trial" (even if not FDA-regulated) must have current GCP training, regardless of their role on the study, per NIH policy.
