All faculty, staff, and students are required to complete training for Responsible Conduct of Research prior to doing any research activities, and/or working on externally funded projects.  Additional trainings are required for individuals who are paid from an externally funded project and/or whose research involves, animal care & use, biohazardous chemicals, export controls, or human subjects.

Important information you should know about required trainings for research compliance:

• All protocol applications will only be reviewed by review committees after required trainings have been completed.
• The Compliance Training Verification Form can be used to automatically determine the trainings that are required for your type of research activity, position, and project.
• All trainings can be completed online either on SSO – TrainTraq or CITI (see training information table).

Course Completion Requirements:

CITI training courses must be completed with a minimum score of 80%. The course may be repeated as necessary to achieve the 80% score.  The time to complete the training modules can vary from 4-6 and 6-8 hours.  Individuals may exit and resume the training at any time. At the time a training is successfully completed, the certificate of completion can be printed by the trainee. A notification will be sent to you prior to the expiration of your training.  At anytime, you may return to the training modules and print a certificate or update your email address.
