What is Research Ethics for All (RE4All)?
RE4All is a trainer-led, interactive human research training developed by people with developmental disabilities, disability services providers, researchers, and IRB administrators and members. It was designed to be accessible to adults with developmental disabilities and allows for the trainer to make accommodations to support optimal learning.
How do external personnel complete RE4All training?
Because RE4All is trainer-led, the appropriateness of using the training will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Prior to using this training, study teams must first consult with UW-Madison IRB staff or citisupport@research.wisc.edu.
If use of RE4All is approved by IRB staff or citisuppport@research.wisc.edu, the training must be administered by an experienced UW-Madison researcher, such as the Principal Investigator. The UW-Madison trainer should review and complete the "Training Preparation Checklist" found here and complete the training with the external personnel. Once training is complete, the trainer must work with each learner to individually check their understanding of essential information required for certification by completing the certification activities.
When the trainer is satisfied that the learner has a basic understanding of the content, the trainer can create and download a certificate to document the learner's training completion. The certificate should be provided to the learner, kept in the study team's records, and uploaded to ARROW.
