CITI Training for Human Subjects Research
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program)
Answer
The Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) is an educational program for the protection of human subjects in research. CITI was developed by experts in the IRB community and is focused on different aspects of bioethics and human subject research. There is a core course in biomedical research and one in social/behavioral research. Each module includes educational materials that can either be read on the screen or printed out. A brief quiz follows each module.
You can access CITI Training through MyUTampa and directly below.
The training is free and designed to acquaint you with the research standards in dealing with human subjects. The CITI program was created to address medical testing practices in the past that had little regard for human rights. In general, any study, survey, or research which uses human subjects and is published or needs IRB approval will require CITI training and certification.
