If you work with human tissue or potentially infectious material in your research, you may need to do additional modules. For more information on the CITI training and accessing the training modules visit the Office of Research Compliance website.
Make sure to print a copy of your completion certificate for your lab’s safety training binder. As well as proof when requesting access to labs requiring certification.
