Background
The Common Rule outlines Investigator Responsibilities in section 46.104: the Principal Investigator of a clinical research study is “responsible for ensuring that members of the research team, including study staff and trainees, are appropriately qualified, trained, and supervised.” This training is part of our ongoing effort to assure that those involved in human subjects’ research have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their assigned clinical research responsibilities. Current policy requires that all study team members must complete CITI training. The training required by the Medical Center policy builds upon CITI training and provides further foundational knowledge that includes: content on Principal Investigator responsibilities, key aspects of study initiation, study management, study closeout, relevant guidelines, federal regulations, policies and how these are operationalized at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
