Felix Gyi Memorial CIP® Scholarship

PRIM&R established the Felix Gyi Memorial CIP® Scholarship to assist IRB professionals interested in earning the Certified IRB Professional (CIP®) credential. This initiative provides scholarships to cover the fees associated with both sitting for the exam and applying for recertification of the credential. This Scholarship is established in memory of Felix A. Khin-Maung-Gyi, a founder of the CIP credential and longtime leader in PRIM&R’s research ethics community, who passed away in 2014.
