You must have completed CITI training on human subject protection within the past three years to submit an application to the TCC IRB. Your certificate of completion is required as part of the IRB application. Other training opportunities must be approved by the IRB to be considered as a replacement. If you are a TCC employee, please follow these instructions to register and complete the CITI training.
