On November 10, 2005, Dr. Stephen McKeever, Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer, announced that beginning June 1, 2006, Oklahoma State University will require that all principal investigators conducting research involving human subjects (faculty, staff or student) complete a new training program in basic human subjects protection training for any research involving human subjects, regardless of the source of funding.
OSU Institutional officials responsible for approving research activities involving human subjects must also complete the training.
The basic training will be provided through an online web-based course provided through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) hosted by the University of Miami. To start the CITI training program click on the link below.
