Welcome to our Lab!

To get started, you will need to complete Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program. All Fitchburg State researchers must complete CITI training. If you will be working on a research project that has Institutional Review Board (IRB) oversight, then before you can begin your work, a CITI training certificate must be on file with the IRB. Even if you are not working on a project with IRB oversight, ACJP lab requires that you complete CITI training.

CITI training can be tedious and it may take you 1-2 hours to complete. So, plan ahead.

STEP 1: First, please visit the Fitchburg State University’s IRB webpage by clicking the link below. Please read the section “Prior to Submitting an Application”, which relates to CITI training.

STEP 2: Second, click on the links below and read the instructions for registering and completing required CITI training modules below. Read these instructions before you proceed to step 3.

STEP 3: Click on the link below and complete your CITI registration and training modules. Save your log in credentials in a place that you can access your CITI training in the future. At the end the training you will need to download and save your CITI completion report and certificate (see STEP 4).

STEP 4: After you’ve completed your training, download and save your CITI completion report and certificate. Email your report and certificate to Dr. Drawbridge.
