NIH+Research+Certification

There is an institutional requirement for everyone who is involved in research involving human subjects at LLU to complete a "basic orientation" into the issues and ethics regarding research subject protections. Research participants need to complete one of two options as described in the attached memo "" to obtain initial certification. Please view this first.


 * If you choose the first option (the new National Institutes of Health Program) described in the above attachment, please be sure to fax a copy of your completion to (909) 558-0577 and give a copy to Dawn for your file. This certification is worth one year of "credit".
 * If you choose the second option, click [[file:fellowiki/New CITI Guidev3.doc|here]] to view the guide for CITI Certification. This certification will be good for two years. Although the Research Education Office will be notified electronically of your completion, please give a copy of your certification to Cynthia for your file.

If you have any questions or run into any problems regarding these research certifications, please contact James Krausz, JD, Research Education Coordinator at jrkrausz@llu.edu or by phone at (909) 558-7463.
