About Human Subjects Research Training (HSRT):
HSRT offers foundational training on the United States federal regulations for the protection of human subjects in research, including the Belmont Report principles and the revised Common Rule, plus associated laws, policies, and guidance. HSRT was created by the Learn eCORE Founders (link to about us team bio page) who have many years of experience in human subjects research, including launching the popular former NIH course on this topic. the HSRT course was vetted by an independent with expertise in regulatory compliance and IRB certification and processes. Completion of HSRT satisfies the educational requirement for IRB certification and of federal research funding agencies like NIH.
HSRT is Organized into Five (5) Modules
- History of human subjects research protection
- The associated regulations and the Belmont Report principles
- Respect for persons
- Beneficence
- Justice
The course also teaches the purpose and function of institutional review boards and what is needed for IRB certification.
HSRT (LINK TO HSRT course page) reinforces learning through exercises and case studies and includes four quizzes that must be passed at 80% or more to demonstrate satisfactory mastery of course content. The examples, exercises, and case studies in HSRT are primarily drawn from biomedical human subjects research, although some socio behavioral material is included. Those who are involved primarily in social, behavioral, and educational research (SBER) and who need human subjects training, for example, for IRB certification, should consider taking the HSRT SBER course, which is geared towards this category of human subjects research (LINK TO HSRT SBER course page)
Who Is It For
HSRT was developed to meet the training needs of a breadth of professionals involved in clinical human subjects research, including:
- Those involved in the design and conduct of research like: investigators, sponsors, research team leaders and members, clinical research associates, faculty, pre- and post-doctoral fellows, and students
- Those involved in research oversight and administrations like: IRB and other ethics board administrators, IRB members, and others involved in IRB certification of research, research compliance staff, and study monitors
- Those who teach about human subjects research compliance or research ethics as defined by the Belmont Report principles and their students. Learn eCORE also offers a companion Faculty Guide for HSRT as an aid for those using the course in teaching.
