Research Training

Training compliance is an essential part of conducting high quality, ethical, clinical research. SCTR developed this training resource to help MUSC study teams locate required and recommended trainings and other informational resources for clinical and translational research.

Training required before engaging in human subjects research

Are you

  • the direct recipient of federal funds- even if all research activities occur elsewhere?

  • obtaining informed consent-even if research procedures are not done at MUSC?

  • administering study interventions?

  • interacting with study subjects for research purposes?

  • obtaining identifiable data, specimens, or images for research purposes?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you are engaged in human subject research and will need to complete a series of trainings before engaging in any research activities.
