You are asked to complete the human subjects research training and acquire the certificate through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) online. The training will help students understand the ethical issues and guidelines in conducting research.

Please follow the instructions in this PDF (CITI Training Instructions (Undergrad).pdf download ), complete the CITI training, and upload your Completion Report (NOT the Completion Certificate). An example of the report is shown on the last two pages of the PDF instructions.

The information below is for students who have already completed the CITI training before. If you have not done the training before, just use the instructions in the PDF above; you don’t need to go over the following information.

For those who have already completed the CITI training before, you may upload the same Completion Report if the following conditions are met:
