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.
Training in human research protection is provided through an on-line web-based course provided through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) hosted by the University of Miami. Each OSU trainee will be required to complete the basic course in human research protection and a refresher course two years later. To access the CITI training program click on the link below.
