• Completion of CITI Human Subjects training is required for all investigators and research team members engaged in the conduct of human subjects research. 
• Training is verified prior to the initial review of a protocol, during any amendment requests, and at continuing review.
• Training must be renewed every three (3) years.
• Team members must complete one of the following the online courses through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program:
  • Human Subjects: Social/Behavioral Research Course
  • Human Subjects: Biomedical Research
  • Human Subjects Course:  Extension Agents
  • Human Subjects: Research Assistants and Team members
• Those involved in an NIH-funded clinical trial must also complete the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) course.  Register by clicking "Add a course" on your CITI page Main Menu and choosing "Good Clinical Practice."

Novelution automatically integrates with the CITI program to verify completion of human subjects training for anyone who has an active profile in the system. 

For accurate reporting of your completed training, ensure that the email address in your Novelution Profile, and the email address in your CITI profile match.  For all NDSU employees, your Novelution profile is set by the University System and can be found by clicking on 'Profile & Settings' > Edit User Profile.  For most faculty, staff and students, this email will be first.last@ndsu.edu; however, if you have another affiliation within the NDUS system (e.g. you are a student at another institution), the domain may be the institution at which you are a student.

Students who are not employed by the university will need to activate their profile by using the Central Authorization System to log into Novelution (i.e. use their NDSU username and password to access Novelution). Without an active profile, the PI must upload a copy of the individual's training certificate to the protocol to be verified by the IRB office.
