Additional Training

Online CITI Training: As one of the basic education requirements for the Animal Care and Use Program, Human Subjects Research, Responsible Conduct of Research, or Research involving Biohazards, the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) online training program provides the conceptual framework for appropriate topics in research and teaching settings.

Responsible Conduct For Research

Charlotte’s commitment to Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is supported by the University’s Training in Responsible Conduct of Research Rule (RUL 10.15.1). This rule establishes the requirement for responsible conduct of research education for individuals required to have such education prior to working on federally-sponsored projects where the federal sponsor has mandated such education.
