IRB: Training for IRB Members and Investigators


Training and Documentation Required

Federal regulations require IRB committee members to obtain training in relevant ethical principles, federal regulations, and written IRB procedures. The Pellissippi State review system for human subjects research also requires investigators to obtain training.

To document training, IRB members and investigators must submit a training verification form to the IRB Chair.
