EDCO 810 CITI Training—Social & Behavioral Researchers

Students will complete CITI training, which is an online training course on ethics in research. To complete training, follow the instructions on this website: http://www.liberty.edu/academics/graduate/irb/index.cfm?PID=27730.

CITI training allows users to select which subjects to complete, and students only need to complete the social and behavioral researchers’ sections for this course. If students have previously completed CITI training within the last two years, they do not need to complete it again if they submit proof of completion.
