SPECIAL NOTE:
As of 10/1/2000, the NIH requires education on
the protection of human participants for all investigators submitting NIH
applications for grants or proposals for contracts or receiving new or
non-competing awards for research involving human subjects. All "key
personnel" in the proposed research must complete the educational
requirement as well. Key personnel includes co-investigators, nurses,
study coordinators, all those who conduct health or opinion surveys.
Currently,
the University will consider completion of an NIH on-line training program
sufficient for institutional sign-off on meeting the educational
requirement. The program is available at http://cme.cancer.gov/c01/ Once
this program is completed, a certificate is provided. A copy of the
certificate should be faxed or forwarded to Dusty Layton, CSAB 140, FAX:
461-1595.
