Training Dates
- Study Circle facilitators will need to participate in a 90 minute training. Two people from each county, either staff or volunteers, need to complete the online IRB certification process which takes most facilitators less than two hours to complete. The range has been 30 minutes to three hours depending on your computer speed and prior knowledge of research.
- If several counties can cluster, trained Program Specialists maybe willing to do a face-to-face training with 10 or more participants. Travel expense would be appreciated. Contact Ruth Freeman, (515) 386-3611 to schedule.
