Mandatory Training for Persons Planning to Conduct Research Involving Human Subjects

Federal guidelines mandate that all investigators and key personnel who are directly responsible for the design and conduct of the human subject's part of the project be properly trained prior to working with human subjects. This requirement is in accordance with our Federal Wide Assurance filed with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Human Research Protection.

To be compliant with this federal mandate, training, under the purview of the Institutional Review Board (IRB), is now in place and electronically accessible in Modules 1-4 to the left of this page. If at any time you need to go back to the Office of Sponsored Programs website and leave the IRB training pages, click the banner at the top of the page and you will return home.

Modules 1 through 3 contain information you will need to read in order to take the training. When you feel comfortable with the information, the test can be found under Module 4. Please make sure that you select the appropriate test by choosing whether you are student at JMU or a faculty or staff member at JMU.
