VCU has an education plan for PI's which we strongly believe meets NIH
requirements.  It is not limited to survey/interview type researchers --
nor do I think that moving into clinical research makes any difference in
the basics faculty researchers should know.

See our IRB's website:
http://www.vcu.edu/irb/index_1.html, and click on "EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
INFORMATION".

We document achievement of training to at least a minimal level.
