I am a student and will serve as Principal Investigator for a protocol that involves research with human subjects. Does my faculty advisor have to complete the Human Subjects Certification Program?
In accordance with IRB policy, the faculty advisor must complete the HSCP if the principal investigator is either an undergraduate or graduate student. The Notice of Approval or Exemption, as applicable, for a protocol will not be issued until the IRB has verified that both have successfully completed the program.
