30 Mar 2010 ~ NEW MINIMUM REQUIREMENT FOR PI - SG GCP
With effect from 1 April 2010, the minimum training for Principal Investigators (PIs) conducting
clinical trials within SingHealth will include completing the Singapore Guidelines for Good
Clinical Practice Program Course (in addition to the current requirement for CITI) when making
a submission to the CIRB.  However, a grace period of 3 years will be granted for PIs to obtain
this requirement.  Thus, CIRB will continue to accept and review applications from PIs that have
yet to complete the SGGCP course till 31 March 2013.  But by 1 April 2013, CIRB will not grant ethics
approval for clinical trials applications until receipt of PI's proof of completing the SGGCP course.
