UW-Madison Online Training for Researchers
The UW-Madison requires that all personnel engaged in human subjects research complete one of the UW-Madison's online CITI Human Subjects Training Courses before any IRB will review any protocol, regardless of the project's sponsorship. When the training is completed, research personnel may print off a certificate of completion from the CITI training website or from the UW-Madison Human Research Protections Training Certification Database.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privact Rule Training
HIPAA training is required of all employees in those university units that are covered by HIPAA. See HIPAA Privacy Rule Guidance for more information.
Outside Activities Reports/Conflict of Interest Committee
All faculty and academic staff are required by state and federal law to report their outside activities. A UW-Madison faculty Conflict of Interest Committee reviews these outside activities and provides guidance for managing, reducing, or eliminating financial conflicts of interest in research activities. For additional information on outside activities reporting and the activities of the Conflict of Interest Committee, see the Outside Activities Report and Conflict of Interest Committee webpages.
