Training
On Human Subject Protections
All protocols submitted to the IRB must utilize an appropriate (and approved) recruitment
and consent process(es) consonant with the risks involved. It is the responsibility
of the PI and research staff to ensure that proper informed consent has been obtained
from all research participants. Assent must be obtained from minors. Assent forms
are typically much briefer than consent forms, and the language must be appropriate
for the age of the participant.
- Online training is provided by the CITI Consortium at www.citiprogram.org. No other Human Subjects training will be accepted.
- The IRB requires that all investigators (including students), and personnel on research projects involving
human subjects complete the following CITI training: Social and Behavioral -Basic or Biomedical Basic.
- Training must have been completed less than 3 years prior to the date of submission.
- The IRB does not accept CITI Refresher training from researchers who have no prior history of CITI Basic
Training completion. Anyone who has completed CITI Refresher training without completing
Basic training must notify the IRB office at irb@2fitfashion.com prior to taking the CITI
Basic training.

All Human Subject Training can be found here. If you are a new user, click on "Register," enter your registration information,
and select "Chicago State University" from the dropdown menu. The site will take you
to a page of options for training. In most cases you will select Social and Behavioral Research. Note that some studies may require additional CITI training modules depending on
the nature of the research. At this time, most research projects at CSU do not involve
bio-medical research (defined as clinical research involving investigative drugs,
devices and procedures).
