PI and all persons involved in the human subjects activities have to take
SOME educational material, and report what material to NIH in the PI's
letter.  If MAY be the NIH tutorial.  As you are not big on IRB stuff,
that's probably a good one for your folks to use.  Others use other
training, often something put together in their own institution, but
including a standard source or two as part of the curriculum.
