Guide: Matching Your CITI Account to Your DU SSO Account
The University of Denver requires all individuals to complete mandatory training who are investigators conducting research involving animals. These training modules must be completed before IACUC approval will be issued for a new project or new personnel are added to a protocol.
Through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program (www.citiprogram.org), training modules are available for DU faculty, staff and students who are investigators or key personnel working with animals. For assistance with registering and completing CITI training, review the IACUC CITI Training Guide.
DU recognizes valid CITI training for four (4) years from the completion date.
