Assignment 1 - CITI Training

Overview

As the first assignment for CSCE 624, you are required to finish two training modules provided online by the CITI Program:

• Social and Behavioral Responsible Conduct of Research
• Group 2. Social and Behavioral Research Investigators and Key Personnel

By completing this training, you will be able to submit an IRB form that will allow you to collect data for your course project.  It should also be helpful to your general research work outside of this class.

Instructions

To do the training, please follow the instructions in the link below:

TAMU Human Subjects Training

Everything you need to know should be provided on that page, but the gist is that you should register with CITI Program under Texas A&M University.  From there, select the modules you need to complete (RCR and Group 2) and go to your courses to begin.  There will be several sections and quizzes after each section.  More details will be provided on the CITI page, and the training should take a couple hours on average.

Obtaining Credit

Once you have completed both modules, download a PDF certificate by going to "Print Report".  Send this certificate to the course grader, whose email address is given on the course syllabus linked from this post.

Due Date

Note: Group 1 is biomedical training and is not required for this course.  You may complete it if you wish, but it is much longer than the other two modules.
