IRB Training
Training is an important part of our Human Subjects in Research program at Brandeis Online Training We are pleased to offer a convenient, customized online training program through the University of Miami's Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) and also through the NIH. Many institutions across the country use these tools for training participants in their Human Subjects in Research program. Brandeis University requires all student (undergraduate, graduate, post-doc) investigators to complete the human subjects training through the CITI Program before their IRB applications will be reviewed. See IRB Guidelines, Policies, and Regulations for more information.
