On March 1, OER’s new “Protecting Human Research Participants” Web-based training officially replaced the National Cancer Institute’s “Human Participant Protections Education for Research Teams.”
The training is intended for individuals involved in the design and/or conduct of NIH-funded human-subjects research. It is specifically designed for extramural investigators and is one of many options for meeting the June 2000 “Required Education in the Protection of Human Research Participants” policy, created in response to federal mandates for increased emphasis on protection for human subjects in research.
Using a graphics-rich and interactive format, the training presents basic concepts, principles and issues related to the protection of research participants. It explains the obligations of researchers and institutions to protect the rights and welfare of subjects in research with up-to-date policies and guidance.
