Does Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Training Consistent with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E6 (R3) Meet the NIH Requirement?

April 1, 2026

Yes. GCP training consistent with ICH E6 (R3) meets the requirement stated in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (GPS).  

NIH expects that all NIH-funded investigators and staff who are involved in the conduct, oversight, or management of clinical trials be trained in GCP (NOT-OD-16-148). 

NIH will update the NIH GPS if there are significant updates to the GCP requirements.
