This was asked before, and I didn't see many answers.  We're trying to set
our policy practice now.  Therefore, I offer this survey.  If you respond
to the list OR directly to me, I'll collate the answers and post back to
the list about Tuesday.  Promise!

1)  Does anyone have a system of human subjects education that necessarily
catches everyone involved in human subjects research, and plans to send a
central form letter to that effect with each proposal?  (We'd hoped to do
this, but our documented education may not be broad enough; some colleagues
had hoped for such a simple and transparent system.)

2)  Does anyone have a system of human subjects education that provides the
individual with certification of completion/passing, and plans to require
PI's to collect copies and include in proposals?  (We may do this; a couple
of other places have indicated they would.)  If so, will there be any
central office review of completeness, i.e., inclusion for each named key
investigator?

3)  Who is going to leave it completely in the hands of the investigators
to describe their human subjects education?  (Maybe the easiest for
institutions with few NIH proposals.)

4)  Who is going to set up a central documentation system and write a
central letter that certifies for each key investigator on a proposal?

5)  Any other plans?
