In accordance with federal regulations, all ASU researchers (including faculty, staff, and students) who plan to conduct research projects involving human subjects must receive training in the protection of human subjects. ASU requirements include satisfactory completion of the Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) in the Protection of Human Research Subjects (85% score or better) and a review of the Belmont Report, which outlines the "Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research."

You can register for the online course at https://www.citiprogram.org/default.asp which is hosted by the University of Miami. You will assign yourself a username and password. Please write them down as ASU cannot retrieve your password for you.

To Begin using CITI:

• Go to http://www.citiprogram.org/ to register for CITI online training
• Once there, click "New Users Register Here"
• Next, choose Arkansas State University under "Participating Institutions". Leave the other options blank.
• Choose a username and password.
• Enter your First & Last Name and Email address. Make sure you use an active email address because this will be the email lost passwords will be sent to (from CITI - again ASU does not have access to your password).
• Fill in the options marked with an asterisk (*). For "Which course to you plan to take?" choose one of the 'Basic Human subjects' options OR one of the 'Refresher Course' options. If you are a student, under "Role in human subjects research" choose either 'Student Researcher - Undergraduate' or 'Student Researcher - Graduate level'.
• On the next screen, if you are a student, for Question 1 choose the last option 'Students conducting no more than minimal risk research'. Otherwise, choose the appropriate options. For Question 2, choose N/A unless you have completed the Basic course from CITI within the last 3 years.
• The last screen shows that you have successfully registered. Yay!
