BIDMC has a long history of excellence in clinical research. Protection of its human research subjects
through education of research faculty and staff is one key to that excellence. Towards that end, and in order to comply with the
federal education mandate for
key research personnel involved in clinical research, a new web-based research education program is being put into place. The new education training will be offered through the Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) program.
(See the New Human Subjects Research Education Requirement Memo - Nov. 2007)
The CITI program offers a more robust Human Subjects Protection training course than our
current in-house program and also provides courses in Good Clinical Practice (GCP). This educational requirement will make us more consistent with the other Harvard Medical School institutions and
help us move towards accreditation from the Association for the Accreditation of Human Subject Protection Programs (AAHRPP).
