The MHRI Office of Research Integrity has been reviewing CITI training requirements for investigators and research staff that must be completed before participating in a research study reviewed by the MHRI Institutional Review Board (IRB). Investigators and research staff have been required to complete human subjects training as well as a Good Clinical Practice (GCP) course.
As of March 1, 2018, the MHRI IRB will only require GCP training for NIH funded studies. The majority of the research studies reviewed by the MHRI IRB will only require that investigators and research staff complete the human subjects training.
An updated FAQ document has been posted on the MHRI website and can be accessed HERE.
