>Subject: Web based training: Research Involving Humans as Subjects
>
>The Committee on the Use of Humans as Experimental Subjects (COUHES) and 
>the Office of Sponsored Programs partnered in the creation of a web-based 
>MIT course for research involving human subjects.  This course is 
>administered on the web, and is hosted for MIT by TrainCaster.  The 
>web-based training course replaces the paper-based Rochester course.  We 
>encourage individuals to take the web-based course since it has been 
>developed specifically for the MIT community, although the Institute will 
>accept the paper-based Rochester program while supplies last.
>
>The training is required for all individuals participating on an 
>NIH-funded  project which has a human subjects protocol attached to the 
>project whether or not any specific individual performs research utilizing 
>human subjects, bodily fluids or tissues extracted from humans, or data 
>derived from humans.  In addition, all individuals receiving NIH 
>traineeships must now successfully complete an approved human subjects 
>training program.
>
>As an aid in determining whether any specific individual has completed a 
>human subjects training course, there is web-based access to such a list 
>via either the OSP or the COUHES home page.  The list of individuals who 
>have successfully completed a human subjects training course will also be 
>available shortly via the use of MIT's COEUS system.
>
>The web-based human subjects training course can be accessed via the OSP 
>home page at http://web.mit.edu/osp/www/hs-training.htm
>
>or via the COUHES home page at
>http://web.mit.edu/committees/couhes

>If you have any questions about this, please contact me at 3-2492 or Tom
