Marquette offers human subjects research training through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). CITI provides web-based training on a variety of research topics whose user base include thousands of institutions and users.
See the training modules associated with each learner group
Each learner group contains 10-12 required modules and requires the completion of a brief 3-4 question quiz. Each module may take 10-20 minutes to complete (typically 1.5-2 hours total), and most modules contain a quiz. The modules do not have to be completed all in one session. A minimum cumulative score of 80% is required to pass the training.
