Instructions  for  Fulfilling  Human  Subjects  Protection  Training  Requirements  

Wilmington  University  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   training  has  the  four  tracks  listed  below:    

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

Student  researchers  should  attach  their  certificates  to  their  HSRC  protocol  package.    Research  advisors  and  HSRC  members  should  post  their   certificates  in  the  HSRC  SharePoint  site.    Citi  certification  expires  after  three  years.
