Research that involves human subjects requires a protocol review by the Henry Ford Health Institutional Review Board (IRB) to insure protection of research participants. The general steps are below:
- Complete the CITI training course if principal investigator (PI) has not previously completed it
- If previous course completion date is over 2-years old, a refresher course is required
- For information on registering for CITI training, go to Training Requirements for Key Personnel on the Research Administration page
- Recommended CITI program courses:
- Basic/Refresher Course - Human Subjects Research (Curriculum Group); Biomedical Research Investigators and Key Personnel (Course Learner Group); Basic Course
- Conflict of interest mini-course (Curriculum Group); Conflict of Interest Training in the 2011 Final Rule and Revised PHS Regulations (Course Learner Group); Stage 1
- Complete IRB application form - New protocol submission form
