CITI Training
The CITI Program is designed to help researchers understand the rules, regulations, ethics, and laws surrounding human subject research. Many of our programs will require you to earn a CITI Training Certificate before you start your research. While the requirements are program specific (and will be included in your program of study), the CITI Website also offers insight and information as to the purpose and need for human subject protection. We invite you to explore their website and learn more:
