Overview of WashU’s GCP Training Requirements
Applicability
WashU’s Good Clinical Practice Policy requires GCP training for all research team members including faculty, staff, students, or other personnel listed on an IRB application for research meeting the definition of a clinical trial. The policy applies to all clinical trials regardless of support including, but not limited to all NIH, other federal, industry, foundation and departmental sponsored clinical trials.
Educational Requirements
Per WashU’s GCP Policy, there are three options available to meet training requirements:
- CITI Program GCP course online (approximately 4-6 hours to complete)
- NIH GCP training course online (approximately 4-6 hours to complete)
- WashU-Sponsored In-Person Training (90-minute session) This option includes the March classes announced in this email.
Frequency
GCP training is required every three years per WashU’s GCP Policy. Some sponsors may require GCP training more frequently.
These WashU-Sponsored In-Person Trainings offered by the OVCR are provided each spring and fall. The next classes will take place around October 2025. If your GCP training will expire on or before October 2025, you should consider enrolling in one of the March courses.
