The PI's role is to take full responsibility for any consequences related to the operation and outcomes of the study as well as being certified to conduct the study. 

According to Federal Regulations, the PI is also responsible for:

 "...ensuring that all associates, colleagues, and other personnel assisting in the conduct of the research study are appropriately informed of (i) the study procedures; (ii) informed consent requirements; (iii) the potential adverse events associated with study participation and the steps to be taken to reduce potential risks; (iv) adverse event reporting requirements; and (v) data collection and record-keeping criteria.

First-time users must complete the registration form on the linked page before starting the course. Please allow 1-2 hours to complete the course. The certificate is available to print following the completion of the tutorial.
