IRB Required Training

Basic Human Participant Research should be chosen if the researcher and faculty advisor (when applicable) is listed on an IRB application and the research DOES NOT include nursing/health professions or elementary/secondary education.

This learner group is required for all IRB application submissions. The four modules in the group are: 

1. History and Ethical Principles
2. Assessing Risk in Social and Behavioral Sciences
3. Informed Consent
4. Privacy and Confidentiality

College of Health Professions (including nursing), should be chosen if the researcher and faculty advisor (when applicable) are involved in the health profession.

The following two (2) modules will be added to the basic four (4) listed above and all six (6) modules will appear under this learner group link on the CITI main menu page.

The Basic Human Participant Research group does not need to be selected as well.

1. Defining Research with Human Subjects
2. Research with Children

Prisoner Research should be chosen if the research involves any individual incarcerated or held by the court (probation).

Once the four (4) modules of the Basic Human Participant Research group above has been completed, enter the optional modules link on the main menu page and select the module below completing the five (5) required modules.

1. Research with Prisoners

Education Graduate: Teacher as Leader should be chosen if any researcher and faculty advisor (when applicable) are involved with elementary and secondary education or minors.

Two (2) additional modules will be added to the basic four (4) listed above and six (6) modules will appear under this learner group link on the CITI main menu page. 

1. Research with Children
2. Research in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools        

Studies that are funded by NIH and meet the NIH definition of a clinical trial are required by NIH to complete Good Clinical Practice (GCP) training. The following seven (7) trainings are required through CITI to meet this requirement. Researchers are also required to complete the four (4) modules required by NKU for all human subjects researchers.

Please note, the CITI training system requires a 100% passing score on the GCP modules.

CITI training offers a variety of population and study dependent trainings. The list below reflects trainings that may be applicable to research conducted at NKU. While these trainings are not required for all research, the IRB may request that researchers complete certain modules to better prepare them for unique research situations. All researchers have access to these courses through the CITI training system.
