Human Subjects Training

91制片厂 utilizes the CITI Program training service for research with human subjects.

All 91制片厂 faculty, staff, students, and research associates conducting research involving human subjects must complete an appropriate Human Subjects Training course prior to receiving final approval of their IRB protocol.

The training status of incoming faculty, staff, students, or collaborators from other institutions who have completed their human subjects training at another institution or through a training source other than CITI or will be reviewed for acceptance on a case-by-case basis. Those who have completed human subjects training other than CITI may submit their training information to the 91制片厂 IRB Administrator for review. The 91制片厂 IRB Administrator has the final determination regarding any substituted human subjects training course.

Please do not use your 91制片厂 log-in credentials (e.g., username and password) to attempt to log in to CITI. CITI completion certificates are valid for three (3) years. You do not need to upload your CITI certificates to the IRBManager application. CITI training will be confirmed by the IRB office

CITI Training Requirements for Faculty, Student, and Staff Researchers

Select the Learner Group* entitled "Social & Behavioral Investigators" or "Biomedical Research."
For research involving patient-contact, complete the CITI course entitled "Biomedical Research - Basic/Refresher"

* CITI Training Requirements for Students

Students should complete the appropriate CITI course related to the level of risk to human subjects.

Students Conducting No More than Minimal Research as part of a class project should complete "Students-Class Projects." This course is appropriate for students doing class projects that qualify as "No More than Minimal Risk" human subjects research. These are primarily Exempt and most Expedited submissions.
Students whose projects Involve Greater than Minimal Risk** to participants should complete the appropriate CITI course related to the type of research being conducted. This may include "Social & Behavioral Research-Basic/Refresher" or "Biomedical Research-Basic/Refresher." Depending on the research, some of these are Expedited and some may be reviewed at a Full Board IRB meeting.

*Minimal Risk to subjects is defined as the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are not greater than those ordinarily encountered in everyday life.

**Greater than Minimal Risk to the subject means that the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated in the research are more than minimal risk, but not significantly greater.
