Community Involvement in Research Training (CIRT) CIRTification

Community Health Equity & Engagement Research (CHEER) Workshop

Is your community-engaged research team prepared to work with research participants in a safe and ethical manner? Join the CHEER team for a session on CIRTification, 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. Hear from the creator of CIRTification, Emily Anderson PhD, MPH, 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.
