Before beginning any research activities, investigators and study teams may need to complete specific training. These requirements may be based on:

• University policies, including those set by your department, center, or institute
• Federal or state regulations
• Policies from sponsoring agencies

In many cases, training must be renewed periodically after the initial completion.

Identify the training requirements for your research by visiting the Research Training Resources. Be sure to also consult your department, center, or institute for any additional or specific training requirements.
