All researchers at the University of Pittsburgh must complete a series of trainings in order to adhere to University Policy. Any researcher who is included on a grant as a co-investigator is required to have all training completed at the time of submission of any grant proposals. If the training is not completed the grant will not be approved. This includes human subject training if applicable.
