Training & Education

Welcome to the Training and Education hub for the Teachers College Institutional Review Board (IRB). This section provides on-demand resources to support researchers, students, and staff in understanding IRB processes, navigating our submission system (Mentor IRB), and conducting research ethically and in compliance with institutional and federal requirements.

Need CITI Training?

All researchers working with human subjects must complete CITI training. 

For human subjects research training requirements, please refer to our Training & Certification page for access and full instructions. 

IRB Video Library

Our growing video library features step-by-step walkthroughs and educational modules tailored to meet the needs of both new and experienced researchers. Topics include:

  • International Research (coming soon!)
    • Special considerations when conducting research outside the U.S.
    • Navigating local laws, ethics approvals, and data protections
    • Dual IRB review, international permissions, and community engagement
    • Translation of documents and culturally appropriate consent

We recommend starting here if you’re new to IRB processes or need a refresher on navigating the Mentor IRB system.

How to Use These Resources

These materials are designed for asynchronous learning. You may:

  • Watch the full modules in sequence for foundational training

  • Select individual videos based on your current submission type or stage
