Requirements
All UIC Investigators and key research personnel are required to meet the initial training requirements in human subjects protections before their involvement in the research. HIPAA research training is required for investigators and key research personnel who are involved in research utilizing protected health information (PHI). Continuing education is required for all investigators involved in research at UIC.
Read more about each training requirement and options for fulfilling it:

Human Subject Protections

Research Training
- Continuing Education in Human Subject Protections
For New Faculty and Staff
New faculty and staff should try to complete the initial training requirements and HIPAA training before 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.
Key Research Personnel
Key research personnel include all persons who will have a significant role in the design or conduct of the research, and includes at a minimum all Principal Investigators and Co-Investigators, and any individuals who are individually named on a grant or contract application, who are listed on an FDA form 1572 (for the conduct of the research at UIC), who are named as contact persons in the informed consent documents or recruitment materials for research, or who provide supervision of the persons who are obtaining informed consent to participate in research.
Additionally, any individuals (including student researchers and coordinators) who are involved with the research by handling protected health information or are using the research information/data set as part of their own research should be included as research personnel on a protocol application.
If students or other individuals have minor roles in the research that are not listed above, they are not required to be listed on the research protocol. However, the Principal Investigator is responsible to ensure that these individuals receive both adequate training, including human subjects protection training, and oversight in accordance to the roles these individuals perform in the research.
