Web-based Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) Course
According to IRB Policy VIII.A, the Vanderbilt IRB requires all Investigators, Key Study Personnel, Students, and Faculty Advisors who are conducting human subjects research, to complete human subjects protections training using the online CITI course. In addition, all Investigators, Key Study Personnel, Students, and Faculty Advisors conducting human subjects research, must complete continuing education annually. Continuing education requirements may be met by attending an educational session approved by the IRB (e.g., IRB Essentials, Research Matters, News You Can Use, etc.), a national conference that addresses human subjects protections in research, or completion of one additional CITI module and quiz.
