Currently, UNI’s IRB requires researchers to complete CITI human subjects training only once ("one-and-done"). We are updating our policy to require training renewal every three years. This change is necessary to address the significant regulatory changes from the 2018 Revised Common Rule, to align with NIH specific mandates, and to mitigate findings of non-compliance during federal audits. To read the full story, please visit the ORSP website.
Attending a Green Dot workshop equips faculty and staff with practical tools to recognize, respond to and prevent behaviors that contribute to discrimination, harassment and violence within the campus community. The training provides simple, actionable bystander intervention strategies that help create a safer, more respectful environment for students and colleagues. By participating, faculty and staff strengthen their ability to support students, model community responsibility, and contribute to a campus culture where everyone plays a role in prevention. Join this event on Thursday, April 2, from 9-10 a.m. in the State College Room of the Maucker Union. Please register in advance.
