Description
INTRODUCTION: While you will not be conducting research for the work in this course, it is important to understand the ethics of research. Doing so will orient you to the logical, rational, and ethical considerations that must be considered when conducting research. CITI CERTIFICATION: Capella University requires all researchers to complete a Human Subjects Research Course available through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). There are several modules comprising the course that provide basic information on the ethical principles and federal regulations that protect human participants in research. Completion of CITI training ensures that researchers understand key concepts such as informed consent and conflict of interest. The modules should be seen as an introduction to these concepts and do not describe a comprehensive or specific IRB process.CITI modules may be reviewed and quizzes retaken as many times as needed until a passing score is obtained. A minimum score of 85 percent correct overall is required for researchers to obtain the certificate of completion for the CITI modules.To complete the CITI certification, go to the CITI website and use the How to Register on CITI resource to complete your registration. Complete all of the required modules and associated quizzes; the CITI website will only allow you to complete the modules in the order that they are listed. The basic course will require 2–4 hours to complete. You are encouraged to use multiple sessions and retake modules as needed.When you have completed all Required CITI modules with a score of 85 percent or higher, submit the document showing the completed scores in this assessment.https://about.citiprogram.org/
