Refresher IRB Training
Following the completion of IRB initial training, UAB IRB policy requires refresher training once every three years for key personnel involved in human subjects research. All training courses are valid for three years from the date of training completion. For example, a training course completed on September 26, 2017 is valid until September 25, 2020.
The UAB Office of the IRB has worked with the CITI Program to create two options for refresher training courses:
- IRB Refresher Training – Biomedical
- IRB Refresher Training – Social, Behavioral, Educational (SBE)
Both course options contain the similar elements as well as topics specific to the type of research.
Participants should only select and complete one Refresher Course option.
