A Canadian Cancer Trials Group update regarding the Protection of Human Research Participant Training
In September 2018, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) released that the current free Protecting Human Research Participant (PHRP) training course would no longer be offered and neither would an alternative. In alignment with the NIH, CCTG confirmed that the CITI Human Subjects Research Course is an acceptable option for Human Subjects Protection training as well as training courses developed and administered at the institutional level.
