Investigator Training and Education
At Hackensack Meridian Health, relevant training and educational programming is crucial to the work we do so that investigators and research staff can navigate regulatory requirements and produce robust scientific research.CITI Training
- Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI): All investigators and research staff must complete online CITI training in order to initiate a study or join a study team.
- More information on biosafety training and animal care and use training can be found on the Committee Review page.
The orientation, offered on a quarterly basis, involves a series of lectures on the topics of The Institutional Review Board and its History, Protocol Basics, Regulatory Issues, Study Management, Patient Eligibility, Informed Consent, Data Management, Reportable Events, and Auditing and Monitoring. It is mandatory for all incoming research staff and takes place over the course of three half-days.

- Guide researchers on getting started in research, including obtaining funding, feasibility, and study design
