Students, faculty, and staff researchers (and faculty sponsors) who file IRB applications will need to complete online training offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). All researchers (including faculty sponsors) engaged in a research project using human subjects are required to complete a course in Human Subjects Research.

The Human Subjects Research course provides basic training in the conduct of ethical human subjects research. This course is targeted to the type of research generally conducted at ����AV: social and behavioral research studies such as those often conducted in the areas of psychology, communications, education, sociology, counseling, and business.��

CITI training must be completed by all researchers and sponsors, if applicable, listed on the IRB application��before the application can be considered complete for submission. The CITI Program website requires both JavaScript and cookies to be enabled in order to function.

The courses available to ����AV CITI learners are listed below. The��Human Subjects Research��courses are those required by the IRB.
