The social and behavioral modules chosen by the university's IRB provide coverage of the ethical principles and procedures for conducting human subject research. It includes modules on Good Clinical Practice, Health Information Privacy and Security (HIPS) and Responsible Conduct of Research. Students will find specific training modules set up for their use including, but not limited to, Students in Research, Internet Research, Research with Children, Informed Consent, and Defining Research with Human Subjects.
