Investigators and staff involved in the conduct, oversight, or management of NIH or other federally funded clinical trials are required to complete training in Good Clinical Practice (GCP). The NIH Office of Science Policy has more information regarding the GCP training policy. The GCP training is an additional requirement and does not replace the Protections of Human Participants training.
