The office of research compliance mandates that you complete the following before being able to start working in lab.
The quicker you get these done the better, as you can start participating in the cool happenings of the lab. Getting these done will be your responsibility.
Note: we try our best to keep this list updated but the office of compliance changes their expectations and training instructions too often. Please be patient if some of these instructions don't work.
