Training Requirements

Mines requires all project investigators to complete the CITI on-line course pertaining to research practices involving human subjects. The course must be completed by all investigators, co-investigators, and student researchers prior to the project starting.

The Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Comprehensive or Biomedical Research course(s) take approximately 8 hours to complete. You may access, save, and continue on multiple occasions; you do not need to complete all of the modules at one time.

The Human Subjects Research committee will monitor completion of the training course for researchers with an approved application. Certifications no longer need to be emailed. If you completed your training through another institution, follow the instructions below to link your prior institutional affiliation with Mines.
