Education

QMC’s committment to research investigator and staff education is essential to the establishment and growth of research qualified physicians and personnel at the center. Below are areas that intend to assist research physicians and personnel interested in or conducting research at the center.

CITI Training

The Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) program is a web based training program developed by experts in the “IRB community”. It consists of a basic course in the Protection of Human Research Subjects for biomedical and social/behavioral research. Completion of the basic course is mandatory for all research personnel listed on a new application to the QMC RIRC.

ClinicalTrials.gov

ClinicalTrials.gov is a website and online database of clinical research studies and information about their results. The purpose of ClinicalTrials.gov is to provide information about clinical research studies to the public, researchers, and health care professionals. The U.S. government does not review or approve the safety and science of all studies listed on this website.
