As of July 1, 2005, Berry College has joined more than 100 other University, Private and Government IRBs in using CITI Human Subjects Research Educational Program.  This online educational program is sponsored by the Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) and the University of Miami.

The CITI program was developed by national IRB experts.  Through a series of modules, the program provides knowledge about History and Ethical Principles, Defining Research with Human Subjects, The Regulations, Assessing Risk, Informed Consent, Privacy and Confidentiality, and Conflicts of Interest in Research Involving Human Subjects.  Each module has educational material that can be read on screen or printed, and a brief online test.  You can do each module separately – you do not have to complete the entire program in one sitting.

At the completion of each module, you are required to complete an online quiz.  You must score at least an 80% on each of the quizzes (they have 5-10 questions each).

If this is your initial CITI training, you must take the CITI Basic Course, not the Refresher course!
