HW #2: IRB Certification for Ethical Treatment of Human Subjects

Take and pass the IRB tutorial (Ethical Use of Humans in Research) at the CITI site, which is linked from the IRB ethics training page below. It's a simple tutorial with small quizzes at the end of each chapter. After you have passed the module, take a screenshot showing the module completed. Turn in the pdf file using TEACH. If you already have a certificate, then you can turn in a pdf of it. (You don't need to bring a hardcopy of this one.)

Note: If the site doesn't give you a "certificate", a screenshot showing that you've passed all the required quizzes is fine.

• Here is the IRB ethics training page, which provides links to all the CITI courses.
• Pull down "Courses", and select "Human Subjects Research"
• Register to create an account. Use an OSU email address (not gmail or some other one).
• Be sure to use your official OSU email address (instead of a gmail one or other personal one), so that OSU gets a record that you've passed the course.
• When the site offers you a choice of courses, choose "Group 1:Social / Behavorial Researchers" from the category: "Human Subjects Protection".
• Read/watch the materials they provide you, and take the quiz at the end

Note: If the site asks you for money, you've done the wrong thing. There is nothing you need to pay for.

Exception:
If you previously passed some other IRB training course about ethical treatment of human subjects, it's fine for you to turn in an electronic copy of that certificate instead.

How to turn it in:
Submit the certificate you received or a screenshot showing proof of passing it (.png, .jpg, .pdf file) electronically.

Grading criteria:

If you submit the certification/screenshot, you get full credit. Otherwise no credit.

If you have trouble navigating to the right place, see the figures below (from the most recent time I went to their site, April 2018).
