IRB Training

 

Effective September 1, 2022, applications to the UNH IRB must include for every listed UNH faculty, staff, or student documentation of completion of the UNH web-based training on human subjects protections. The training expires three years from the date of completion. The training module takes approximately 30 minutes. Individuals who certify their completion of the module at the end will receive an email that is the documentation/certification of completion of the training to be submitted as part of the IRB application.  Researchers should submit documentation of completion of IRB training from their home institution for each non-UNH individual listed on an application. The UNH IRB will not hold up review  of applications missing this documentation but will not grant approval until all applicable documentation is submitted.  The training is designed to assist researchers with gaining familiarity with key issues in conducting research involving human subjects and is kept current regarding evolving human subjects protections issues.

If the study's research team has community research partners who may benefit from a synchronous learning activity, inclusive of videos and learning activities, the UNH IRB accepts the Research Ethics for All training for those individuals. Research Ethics for All is designed for community research partners with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, but may also support other learners for whom the UNH IRB training may not be accessible. The UNH IRB expects Research Ethics for All to be delivered by a member of the research team who has completed the UNH IRB-approved training (see above).
