UW-Madison Training for Researchers
UW-Madison Human Research Protections Tutorial
The UW-Madison requires that all
personnel engaged in human subjects research complete a human
subjects training program before any IRB will review any protocol,
regardless of the project's sponsorship. To satisfy the requirement,
research personnel who are UW-Madison employees must take UW-Madison's
on-line Human
Subjects Tutorial. At the end of the tutorial, the individual
must complete an electronic form to certify completion of the training
to the IRBs and the Office
of Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP).
