Michigan
Tech Institutional Review Board (Michigan TEch-IRB)
for Human Subject Research
Michigan Technological University is committed to the protection
of human subjects in research. To ensure that all investigators and research
personnel receive a well-rounded education in human subjects protection,
MTU has posted several important sources of information at this IRB website.
To meet the standard of excellence set forward by Michigan Technological
University, every MTU investigator is encouraged to give assurance that
he/she has read the following required human subject protection documents.
Belmont
Report: The Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP)
considers it unethical for anyone involved in human subject
research not to have read the Belmont Report. It describes
and explains the ethical principles that should be followed
by such investigators: respect for persons, beneficence and
justice.
Code
of Federal Regulations: All human subject researchers
must read 45 CFR 46. This document is the Federal regulation
that describes the authority and responsibility of Institutional
Review Boards (IRBs) in protecting human subjects.
Michigan Tech
Training Requirements for Human Subject Research
DHHS Training
Requirement: The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has mandated
that researchers receive training in human subject protections and the ethical
conduct of research. Beginning October 1, 2000, any DHHS grant application
must be accompanied by a cover letter indicating that training in human subject
protections has been completed.
The training requirement set forth by DHHS can be met through
participation in a computer based training program (CBT) or
tutorial.
REGARDLESS of funding agency, you are required to undertake
the on-line training session found at Human
Subjects (CITI) Training
and
obtain a certificate of completion. Investigators should maintain a file
with copies of all relevant training.
Previous training
will be accepted from the sites listed below. If you completed
this training three or more years ago, you will need to complete the
CITI Training. Please follow the link above.
