Free IRB Training

---

IRB stands for Institutional Review Board (for Human Use). IRBs were established to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects, and to ensure that such research is conducted in an ethical manner. Indiana University requires that anyone involved in human subjects research be educated about the history, regulations and processes involved in conducting ethical research and obtaining IRB approval for research.
IRB training is required of all key personnel involved in human subjects research. All INET members must provide documentation that they have completed the initial IRB training prior to conducting any practice-based research.

If you have already completed training at or through another institution, please provide the INET Coordinating Center with documentation, along with a description of the training. We will submit it to the IU IRB for approval and notify you if it is accepted or you must complete another IU-approved course.
If you have not received human subjects training, you can learn online at the IU Research Compliance website.
