2 Reason for Training
In October 2000, the National Institute of Health (NIH) established a policy requiring education on the protection of human research 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.
To further demonstrate Virginia Tech’s commitment to the protection of human subjects, the VT IRB’s policies state that it will hold all research conducted at the institution to the same standards as federally funded research.
In conclusion, the VT IRB requires completion of human subjects protections training for all investigators (internal or external) of a project. This tutorial is only one of several options available that are accepted by the VT IRB. Visit our website at http://www.irb.vt.edu/pages/training.htm for additional training options.
