CHEER Workshop: Community Involvement in Research Training (CIRTification)

Is your community-engaged research team prepared to work with research participants in a safe and ethical manner? Join the Community Health Equity & Engagement Research (CHEER) team for a session on the recently approved CIRTification Program, a human research protection training that teaches community partners about the importance of protecting research participants. With interactive videos, case studies and knowledge checks, the CIRTification program provides foundational knowledge of research terminology, processes, and regulations to guide safe and ethical approaches to human subjects research. We’ll be joined by the creator of CIRTification, Dr. Emily Anderson, along with Penn State Human Research Protection Program (HRPP) leadership. Find out how this program can support community partner education and position them to thrive as partners in research.
