黑料社

黑料社 contracted with Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) to provide human subjects protection training for students conducting thesis or dissertation research as well as faculty and staff conducting research or advising student researchers.

The CITI Program has four tracks:

• Social-Behavioral-Educational,
• Vulnerable Subjects Research (which is Social‐Behavioral‐Educational, plus one elective),
• HSRC Members, and
• Health Professions.

Researchers should consult with their advisors to determine which training track is most appropriate.

Key points:

• Within each training track, there are required modules.
• Some of the tracks also include elective modules, with a specific number of electives to be completed.
• Each module is followed by a quiz. A score of 80% is required to pass the module, and multiple attempts are permitted.
• After successfully completing the modules in the training track, the researcher should print out the completion document showing scores for all of the modules taken.

NOTE: Citi certification expires after three years.
