What type of training do I need?

 That really depends on the type of activities you plan to do and your role in the research.  

Before applying to the IRB, the PI should ensure CITI training has been completed by all research investigators, including co-PIs, co-investigators, research assistants, and faculty advisors (www.citiprogram.org). 

• All faculty should complete the "Social and Behavioral Research" training 
• All MTSU students must complete "Social and Behavioral Research" training AND complete "students in research" supplemental module
• Students and faculty who receive federal funding must also complete "Responsible Conduct in Research (RCR)" training.

Be advised that the students who plan to roll their class project into a thesis or a dissertation, must contact the Office of Compliance first before starting their research.  The protocols granted to conduct class projects do not apply for thesis or dissertation work.  Click here for more information on Training Requirements.
