Federal regulations pertaining to the protection of human subjects require that all researchers on a study that involves human
participants have current training. The UCF Institutional Review Board (IRB) provides more information about this training. Students
should consult their faculty adviser and the IRB for guidance on CITI training required for specific research projects.
