Human Subjects
Research (HRP) Protection
Training
Investigators and project
personnel doing research involving human subjects must
complete a Human Subjects Research Protection (HRP) training before receiving IRB
approval, and they must re-certify at minimum
every three years.
For those in
need of HRP training
certification, we strongly encourage attendance at one
of the virtual trainings hosted quarterly by the IRB
(see below for upcoming training dates).
In order to attend a DPH IRB virtual training, you will
need to register via the LA County TalentWorks portal.
Details regarding registration for the IRB's virtual
trainings are sent via departmental email approximately
one month before the training date.
CITI
TRAINING: As an alternative to attending one of
the IRB's virtual trainings, a free online training is
offered through the CITI Program website. To access CITI training,
please follow the instructions listed

Note: We
are no longer accepting training certificates for the
Human Subjects Research Protection training course
offered by OHRP.
HIPAA Training
HIPAA Privacy training is also
required, whether or not your project will collect PHI,
and HIPAA training certificates are valid for
two years (whether or not your certificate lists an
expiration date).
Department of
Health Services (DHS) and Department of Public Health
(DPH) staff should satisfy the HIPAA training
requirement by completing the HIPAA for Covered Entities
training that is available through the County's
TalentWorks portal. The HIPAA for Covered Entities
training is a required training for all DPH and DHS
staff.
