Human Research Participant Protection in the Indian Health ServiceTraining Requirements
In order to qualify for an Assurance with OHRP, the OHRP strongly recommends that Institutional Officials complete Module 1 of the Human Subjects Assurance Training (web-based) from OHRP . IHS recommends that this training also be taken by Chief Executive Officers or Service Unit Directors of all IHS facilities where human research is being conducted. IHS IRB Chairs and administrators are expected to complete all three modules of this training. Although CITI is strongly recommended for everyone involved in human participant research, investigators and key personnel working in IHS Areas other than Alaska may currently take any of the following web-based training programs:
Applications to an IHS IRB (other than the Alaska Area IRB) must include certificates of completion from one of these (or an equivalent course) (or CITI) for all key personnel. Submissions to the Alaska Area IRB must include certificates from CITI. Further web-based training in research ethics is available through a series of webcasts from a course given each year at NIH. The Bioethics Course webcasts from NIH Dept. of Clinical Bioethics are extremely useful and highly recommended for IRB members, investigators and anyone else interested in the protection of human research participants. More information on this course can be obtained from the NIH Department of Clinical Bioethics, including course on Clinical Bioethics.
