Program Information

How does this change impact human subjects research at JU?

1. 的 switch to CITI 不 have any immediate impact on research projects with active or pending IRB approval.

   As we phase in the CITI trainings, NIH training credentials will be accepted by the JU Institutional Review Board (IRB) through December 31, 2018. 这 applies to initial (new) applications, amendments, and continuing reviews.

2. After December 31, 2018, completion of CITI’s basic Human Subjects Research courses will be 要求 of all investigators, key personnel, and research team members when an initial (new) IRB application is submitted, even if the NIH training certificate is still valid. 这 pertains to any/all research being reviewed by the JU IRB, as well as research that is determined by the JU IRB to be exempt.

3. 的 CITI courses are live and available 24/7 for immediate use by JU’s research community. We encourage faculty, especially new faculty interested in conducting research, to begin the CITI training sooner rather than later. 的 IRB will accept both CITI and NIH training credentials through December 31, 2018.

4. Download registration instructions.

   Supplemental instructions are also available.

5. Animal Research: Investigators and study personnel involved in the use of animals in research, testing, or education are 要求 to complete the Animal Care and Use 培训s via the CITI program. Learn more about JU’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Program.

6. 为什么花旗? In addition to providing in-depth instruction 要求 for federal research compliance, CITI provides quick access to training certifications and sends alerts to users when certifications are approaching expiration. CITI was established in 2000 and is currently used by academic, government, and commercial organizations worldwide to train researchers. 的 cost of the CITI subscription is supported by the JU ORSP.

7. Investigators, key personnel, and members of a research team are those who:

   • Enroll individuals;
   • Obtain subjects' informed consent by doing more than handing out or collecting forms or telling subjects how to get in touch with the Investigators;
   • Intervene or interact with subjects by performing invasive (e.g., drawing blood) or 非侵入性(e.g., survey) procedures on them;
   • Collect data directly from or follow-up directly with participants;
   • Collect identifiable private information from participants;
   • Have access to information that links participants' names or other identifiers with 他们的数据;
   • Perform data analysis, quantitative or qualitative (e.g., statisticians with access to identifiable private information or participants transcripts); or
   • Act as authoritative representatives for the investigators.
