Human Subjects Research Ethics Training
Carthage College requires that all student and faculty researchers submitting IRB proposals must complete human subjects research ethics training BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION TO THE IRB. This satisfies a number of federal, state, and institutional regulations and, most importantly, assures the protection of the rights and welfare of individuals used in research.
CITI Training

CITI Program is the leading provider of research ethics, compliance, and professional development education. CITI Program offers professional development, research ethics, and compliance courses for researchers, students, faculty, IRB members, research administrators, and IACUC members.
