Education and Training for Human Subjects Research
DOE Protecting Human Subjects Newsletter
The newsletter is an essential part of the educational outreach of the DOE Human Subjects Protection Program that addresses current issues and concerns about human research supported by DOE. It focuses on DOE laboratories and specific issues DOE laboratories face while conducting human subjects research at their facilities. The newsletter often refers the reader to materials or informational contacts that may provide further guidance on human subjects research. The newsletter also announces upcoming meetings and other events that cover human research topics.
Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) Human Subjects Training Program
To ensure that every laboratory and individual involved in human subjects research has the appropriate training, DOE has collaborated in developing an educational module that provides an understanding of the rules, ethics, and practices that are required in order to conduct research with human subjects. CITI is DOE’s preferred and supported system for expectations and requirements for IRB, management, and research staff education. However, DOE sites have been given the option of using other supplementary or alternative well-designed training tools/modules such as their own in-house programs, National Institutes of Health, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, Responsible Conduct of Research training, and others.
