Online Training

Federal regulations require all participating researchers complete a training course on the protection of human participants in research.  The IRB subscribes to the CITI Online Training Program to comply with this regulation.  

CITI provides a certificate to the researchers upon completion of the appropriate training course.  A copy of the CITI certificate must be included with the protocol submitted to the IRB Office for all participating researchers, including student researchers.
