As of January 1, 2024, new Human Research protocols cannot be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for review and new Animal Research (IACUC) protocol submissions will be held from approval until the RCR training requirement is met and/or untrained University of Kentucky research personnel are removed. This includes both the online course completion as well as the in-person training session completion.
