Graduate and undergraduate student principal investigators (PIs) are required to view recorded trainings about the HawkIRB New Project form prior to submitting an application in HawkIRB.

Previously, student PIs were required to view Parts 1 and 2 of the recorded HawkIRB trainings. The new student PI training includes 10 sections to allow students to complete at their own pace.   Each module in the training is 30 minutes or less.

Student PIs must complete the modules in order, view the recordings at regular speed and pass the quiz embedded in each recording and one final quiz to document completion.

This content of this training is also available in the Self-Guided Orientation to HawkIRB and Human Subjects Research module, this training module contains the same content as the Student PI training requirement, however, this was designed for researchers to be able to select the specific modules without having to move through them sequentially.

The recorded training is posted in the IRB ICON Course for Researchers and consist of the following topics:

1. Good Research Practices-9:36

2. Training Requirements and IRB Submission Requirements-7:50

3. What is and is not HSR and Types of Review-10:05

In addition to the student PI training requirement, graduate and undergraduate student PIs must also complete CITI human subjects training appropriate for their discipline https://hso.research.uiowa.edu/get-help/icon-course and an eCOI financial disclosure form before HawkIRB will allow them to submit a new project form.
