Description
This course guides IRB protocol reviewers to “ask the right questions” to enable an informed and comprehensive protocol review in keeping with 45 CFR 46, Subpart A.
This first module dives into the IRB review criteria at 45 CFR 46.111 (frequently called the 111 criteria). Learners can then review case study modules (Biomed Case Study and SBE Case Study). These modules address asking the right questions as an IRB reviewer based on the type of research. The final module discusses how to review the informed consent process and documentation practices for regulatory compliance.
This course is meant to be role-specific and go beyond basic human subjects research training covered in CITI Program’s Human Subjects Research (HSR) series. The intent of this course is to train IRB members in the process of effective protocol review based on regulatory criteria.
