Jodi's efforts entailed the extensive review of the federal rules and regulations for human participant research and the completion of a four-hour exam composed of 250 multiple choice and objective questions. Jodi's certification has allowed her to advance her knowledge in human participant scientific methods, government regulations and ethical principals. As a result, the quality of the protection of human participants will continue to be enhanced. In order to maintain certification, continuing education requirement must be maintained or the CIP exam must be retaken every three years.
