Community Partner Research Ethics Training (CPRET)

The Community Partner Research Ethics Training (CPRET) and certification is for community partners who are actively involved in research with human subjects to learn about conducting research that is ethical and safe. The CTSI Community PARTners (Community Engagement Core) in collaboration with the Human Research Protection Office (HRPO) and Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) developed a research ethics training for community partners involved in research studies

CPRET ensures that community partners have an understanding of the following topics:

• Introduction to research and the purpose of research
• Understanding specific case scenarios related to research ethics and conduct
• Brief history of research and the development of research ethic principles
• Overview of IRB and regulations for research and protection of human subjects
• Definitions and rules of research conduct

CPRET was designed to help principal investigators tailor research ethics training and to encourage dialogue with community members who will participate on the research team.
