Lewis & Clark subscribes to training courses in a variety of subjects, including but not limited to the Responsible Conduct of Research, Laboratory Animal Research, Human Subjects Research, and Financial Conflict of Interest. There are courses specific to researchers (including students), compliance committee members, and administrators. The following is a list of initial training courses required for each role.

In addition to the above course options, you may select any of the following, which are subsequent training and/or optional courses, available to anyone:

• Human Subjects Research Related: Revised Common Rule; IRB Chair; Single Use IRB and Administration; Communicating Research Findings; Essentials of Public Health Research; FERPA; HIPAA; Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Refresher 1; Social-Behavioral-Educational (SBE) Refresher 2

Click the Title of the Course to begin or continue the course. The system will allow you to start the class after you complete the Integrity Assurance Statement presented at the top. Proceed through the course modules and associated quizzes (some are required and some are optional). There is typically a short quiz (4-10 questions) at the end of each module. Please note:

• Lewis & Clark requires at least an 80% passing grade on each module.
• You may return to the module and re-take the quiz if necessary.
• You do not have to complete all of the modules at one time. Your quiz score(s) will be stored and you can return to complete the remaining modules at any time.  
• Once a course that you’ve taken has expired, CITI will send you an email reminder invitation to take any additional required courses in the series (e.g. a refresher course).
• Your completion certificate(s) will automatically be emailed to the Sponsored Projects and Research Compliance Office. There is no need to forward your certificate.
