All investigators conducting animal research as well as IACUC Members are required to complete appropriate training no less frequently than every three years. The means of accomplishing this training is through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) hosted by University of Miami. The training is free; your access to the training is underwritten by SVSU. Investigators can download instructions for registering and completing the training by clicking on CITI Training (PowerPoint) (1,367KB) or CITI Training (PDF). (2,196KB) . The training can be accessed via the URL www.citiprogram.org . The CITI Program also contains modules that may be useful to those teaching either a research methods course or a clinical practicum. Please contact the IRB Chair (David Berry, (989) 964-4504, iacucchair@svsu.edu ) or the IACUC Manager (Julie Decker (989) 964-4941, jadecker@svsu.edu ) with any questions.
Investigators should complete the module "Working with IACUC" and the module for their respective species. Those who wish to know more about the IACUC, are contemplating serving on the IACUC, or are actively serving on the IACUC should complete the "Essentials for IACUC Members" curriculum.
