Assignment Instructions

In order to participate in human subjects research as you will do in the second half of this course, you must have completed the required training from the Institutional Review Board (IRB). We’ll talk about this in lesson 3.2, but you’ll need your certification not long after that, so we request that you complete it by the deadline given above.

To complete your required CITI training, visit Georgia Tech’s CITI training page. For detailed instructions, view their presentation on the subject, linked to from that page. When prompted, you should select the following options:

• Select “Group 2: Social/Behavioral Research Investigators and Key Personnel” when asked for your learner group.
• Select “N/A” when asked if you would like to take the Good Clinical Practice course.
• Select “N/A” when asked if you would like to take the Health Information Privacy and Security course.

Then, complete the course(s) in which you are now enrolled.
