Changes in Requirements for CITI training
• As of January 1, 2017, NIH requires that all clinical trial staff on NIH-funded clinical trials have GCP training.
• Good news?
• UNMC implemented GCP training for everyone listed on clinical trials involving drugs and devices in May, 2014
• Majority of effected individuals have already taken it.
Changes in Requirements for CITI trainingThe other “good” news?• More people get more training!
• All currently NIH-funded active clinical trial staff that had not completed it have been notified
• Deadline for completion: May 1, 2017
• What happens if those people don’t get it done by May 1, 2017?
• PI: Study suspended
• All other staff: Removed from study personnel
• All personnel listed on an IRB application that is considered a “clinical trial” as defined by the NIH (regardless of funding)
• If individuals are identified during IRB review process, GCP training will be required before approval

Changes in the “Common Rule”• “Common Rule” = Protection of Human Subjects Regulations
agreed upon by 16 Federal agencies
• Issued: January 19, 2017
• Effective: January 19, 2018 (except for the mandated single IRB review, which is January 20, 2020)
• On January 20, 2017, new federal administration placed a regulatory freeze pending review on regulations published, but not taken effect.
• Final rule can be implemented as is, modifications can be made or it can be scrapped.
• With uncertainty of the future of the Final Rule, limited action has been made on an institutional level.
• If it goes into effect, changes to policies, procedures and processes will be communicated and training scheduled accordingly.

What is “opting-in”?• In 2016, the Conditions of Treatment Form was released to include the
option to be contacted for research• “Do you agree to let us contact you about potential research
studies that you may be eligible for?”• Patients can opt-out at any time for any reason either at their next
visit or over the phone with Patient Access Services• As of 1/18/17
• 45,670 have opted-in• 25,316 have opted-out
How does it work?1. The requestor submits the COT Database Recruitment Request Form to
Dr. Kratochvil for initial approval.
2. The “Request for Electronic Health Data Form” is filled out to gain an initial patient feasibility assessment https://unmcredcap.unmc.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=9TsTE2UGsM
3. The approved/signed form must be included with the IRB application
4. The IRB approval letter is sent to Purnima in order to provide the requested patient information.
– The list must be kept on a secure UNMC/NM computer and must be deleted/destroyed once it is no longer in use.
