Part of our commitment to your growth as a professional PRIM&R is proud to offer two credentials, Certified IRB Professional (CIP®) and Certified Professional in IACUC Administration (CPIA®).
The Certified IRB Professional (CIP®) credential constitutes formal recognition of an IRB professional’s broad knowledge of IRB functions and expertise about human research protection programs (HRPPs). It signals that its holders are highly qualified to discharge their duties pursuant to United States rules and regulations and prevailing ethical codes. PRIM&R established the CIP credential in 1999 to improve the quality of HRPPs and IRBs nationwide by promoting ethical practices and advanced knowledge of IRB administration.
The Certified Professional in IACUC Administration (CPIA®) credential constitutes formal recognition of an IACUC professional’s broad knowledge of IACUC functions and expertise about animal care and use programs and signals that its holders are highly qualified to discharge their duties pursuant to United States rules and regulations, prevailing ethical codes, and administrative best practices.
