Information Security 201 Training
for Research & Development Personnel
New Training Available as of 5/08:
"Information Security 201 for Research and Development
Personnel" has replaced the old "VA Research
Data Security and Privacy Training." This
course must be completed by all current PVAMC research
staff by August 31, 2008.
Who must take this training? All current
PVAMC research staff must complete the new training. "Research
staff" includes but is not limited to, all VA Research
Office personnel, investigators, study coordinators, research
assistants, trainees such as house officers and students,
administrative support staff (including secretaries and
clerks), and members of the IRB and Research & Development
Committees. This requirement includes without compensation
(WOC) employees and IPAs. All new research hires must
also complete the training.
This training will be required only once, so there
is no annual renewal required.
Instructions
for VA-Paid Employees:

staff including WOCs and IPAs - see WOC
and IPA instructions below)

training.

post-test, you must view each page of the course
for a full 5 seconds before moving on to the
next page. (To see if you have satisfied this requirement,

include the answers, but it may be helpful for review).
