Human Subjects Protection
All investigators and key research personnel of projects reviewed by the CPHS must complete training in human subjects protection prior to initiating research activities and every three years thereafter. To fulfill this requirement, you can complete an online tutorial through CITI or complete a CITI refresher course. CITI certificates of completion are available via the CITI website.
