In-person and Virtual Training Available
Conducting research isn’t easy. You must work within established rules and frameworks, meet deadlines and more. But don’t let that discourage you.
CITI Program Training
Most of the training resources you'll complete as a researcher will be completed within the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program. Depending on the type of research you're completing, you'll add a variety of modules with CITI.
If you are working with human subjects (IRB) or animals (IACUC), you need to complete CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Institute) prior to submitting a proposal. This research and ethics training raises awareness about several issues you may need to consider during your research project.
This is a series of online modules, followed by brief quizzes after each section. You must receive a passing score of at least 80% for each module quiz.
