The practice at UWF if for every PI and every individual involved with data collection or access to data files undergoes the NIH training and files their certificate of training when the project is submitted for IRB review. If a new graduate assistant is added to a project, he/she must do the training and the IRB application is amended to include the new personnel on the project.
My impression of CITI training was that it addressed the IRB itself and trained (or attempted to train) the reviewers. This approach can do much to limit the tendency for IRB committees to develop mission creep and engage in inappropriate micromanagement of research projects. _____________________________________________ Claudia J.
