NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)
REQUIRED EDUCATION IN THE PROTECTION OF HUMAN RESEARCH PARTICIPANTS
As announced in Important Notice 00-5 dated August 8, 2000, NIH is requiring that all  researchers using human subjects demonstrate the completion of education in the protection of human research participants.  To this end, Indiana University has developed a web-based tutorial program and a short web-based test covering the rules presented in the tutorial. These tools are available through the IU "Human Subjects Certification" web site as well as a template documentation form enabling each researcher to report the training that has been successfully completed.

Recent Funding Opportunities

This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities can be found on the IU Granstlink. You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.
