Special Note Regarding ICH E6 (R3) Training Requirements

The International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) issued updated guidelines for Good Clinical Practice training. These WashU-sponsored In-person trainings are ICH GCP E6 (R1) and (R2) compliant. These trainings do NOT cover ICH GCP E6 (R3) requirements. The R3 updates to this training are under review, and the updated WashU-sponsored In-Person training will be offered and announced via Research News once available. There is not currently an estimated completion date for the updated training to launch.

  • If your sponsor requires ICH GCP E6 (R3), and you wish to satisfy both the this requirement and WashU’s GCP Training Policy requirement, you should complete a CITI Program course instead. See the Good Clinical Practice Certification page for more details on which CITI courses are R3 compliant.

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:

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 take place each spring and fall. The next classes will take place in the fall of 2026. If your GCP training will expire on or before October 2026, you should consider enrolling in one of these spring courses. *If your sponsor requires ICH E6 (R3) compliant training, please see the special note above.
