As part of MCG's desire to meet increasing federal
requirements on human subjects research and the desire of
MCG to insure that our research meets the highest ethical
standards in the protection of human subjects, MCG has
adopted the CITI training course on human subjects research
as a requirement for all individuals involved in human
subject research. This includes all studies which involve
human subjects in any manner as well as research on medical,
psychological, educational, or other records derived from
individuals. The CITI course is available for completion by
all researchers at MCG.We ask all iMPH students who
conduct research to take this course as soon as possible to
prepare them for the training of all personnel involved with
their research work. The IRB requires that all individuals
identified as investigators or co-investigators have
completed the CITI course certification. This applies to all
new proposals, revisions and renewals.
The training is available immediately to everyone at MCG
at no cost to individuals. You are urged to complete this
training as soon as possible so that there are no delays in
the approval of your research applications or renewals. The
course will present you with a great deal of important
information which should also aid you in the planning and
execution of your research projects and insure the highest
standards for MCG research.
There are several Learner Groups available at MCG. If you
need assistance choosing the Learner Group that best suits
your research area, contact
Ivy Tillman at (706) 721-1481.
Suggested Learner Group for MPH researchers:
- Group 3–Human Derived Materials Research
(Specimens, human tissue, genetic/reproductive material,
medical records, databanks and registries)
