Investigational New Drug (IND) Sponsor Training 

The first step in training for IND Sponsors is to take the online IND Sponsor Training module in Workday. This training includes an introduction to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and Good Pharmacovigilance Practice (GVP) and is to be completed prior to in-person training.  We recommend you log in to Workday before clicking the link to the learning module.

The second step in training is for the Sponsor to complete in-person IND training. In-person training will be tailored to the Sponsor’s experience and the specific IND. The Office of Clinical Research will contact the Sponsor to schedule this training, but the Sponsor may also contact OCR to schedule as well.
