Training new investigators - Training  ARF

Research Training

We now have access to an online training program www.citiprogram.org  that is available to all researchers seven days a week, 365 days a year. There is no fee at this time to use this program. Beginning in 2003 all new investigators are required to complete these courses prior to initiation of the use of animals in research. We require researchers to complete the course on Working with the IACUC. If there are any courses pertinent to the species the researcher is working with, we encourage them to complete those courses, such as Working with Mice in Research Settings, Working with Rats in Research Settings, and Post-Procedure Care of Mice and Rats in Research: Minimizing Pain and Distress.

In order to complete the training component you should:
1) Go to the CITI site http://www.citiprogram.org/ 
2) log on if you have previously used this site or register as a new user.
3) The next point is to affiliate with an institution
(Marshall University) on a pull down menu
4) Next is to select the courses :
a. Working with the IACUC;
b. Working with Mice or Working with Rats, and
c. Post-Procedure Care of Mice and Rats in Research
5) If you have previously completed training under reserachtraining.org then these certificates have migrated to CITI.org under previous coursework completed
