The BSU Human Subjects Committee has mandated that any BSU student who will conduct human research, will need to complete and include in the Human Subjects proposal packet a Certificate of Completion of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Extramural Research Web-based training course “Protecting Human Research Participants”.  The student will only need to take the training once while attending BSU. This FREE training is available at http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php
