UIC Requirements
New faculty and staff should try to complete the initial training requirements and HIPAA training as soon as they begin employment at UIC. The initial training is required prior to involvement in research and the UIC HIPAA training is required if conducting research that uses PHI (Protected Health Info) within the first three (3) months of employment.
- All investigators and key research personnel (including co-investigators and all others that are individually listed on an NIH grant application) must complete the initial education requirement prior to submitting new research protocols for IRB review.
- If principal investigators or faculty sponsors have not completed the initial education requirement, the new research protocol will not be accepted for review.
- Participation of the co-investigator or key research personnel in the conduct of the research is prohibited until they have met the initial education requirements.
- UIC's initial education requirement for investigators and key research personnel involved in human subject research can be met in two ways, CITI training on-line or UIC’s Investigator 101 in-person session. Each of these options meets the National Institutes of Health (NIH) education requirements implemented October 1, 2000.
- The NIH online courses are not an acceptable substitute for the UIC Investigator 101 or the online CITI training.
- UIC will require documentation of training from non-UIC research personnel involved in non-UIC performance sites, but will defer to the specific requirements of the host institution when possible.
