About CIP Recertification by Continuing Education

To recertify by continuing education (CE), CIPs must complete 30 documented hours of continuing education on topics within the CIP Body of Knowledge (Content Outline) which can be found in the CIP Handbook. These topics must also be beyond initial, basic or fundamental level education programs (e.g., no IRB 101sm or similar topics).

All continuing education (CE) credits must be earned after the date the examination was passed, but before the date the certification expires. For those recertifying by CE for a consecutive time, CE credits for the second recertification cycle must be earned after the expiration date of the first certification.

At least 15 of the 30 hours must either:

  • Carry credits issued by a recognized accrediting body (e.g., nursing associations, the American Council on Pharmaceutical Education (ACPE), Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and other professional organizations or universities); OR
  • Have received advance recognition from the CIP Council, such as PRIM&R's annual conferences and webinars, AAHRPP's annual conference, and Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) sponsored programs on topics beyond basic or initial level of knowledge.
