Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC)- Training

Official IACUC Training Program

The IACUC has adopted the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) online training “Working with the IACUC” as an official training course to maintain compliance with federal regulations.

The CITI training program also offers several courses (e.g., species-specific training) that investigators or instructors may find helpful for their research or teaching program. However, only the course “Working with the IACUC” and completion of the exam are required ( http://www.citiprogram.org).

The Office of Research Assurances will record the training completed by faculty members and their key personnel as part of the documentation verifying that federal requirements have been met.

Accessing the Training

You will need to create an account in the CITI program (http://www.citiprogram.org) before you can access the training. Once you've created your account, you can take the course and exam listed in the "My Courses" section under the Iowa State University heading.

Results

Your score must be 80% or greater to receive certification of training. If your score is less than 80%, you will be allowed to retake the quiz. Your results will automatically be forwarded to the IACUC Administrator. Please be sure to print a copy of certification for your files.

Questions

If you have any questions or need help with accessing the training, please contact Connie Regenold, administrative specialist, Office of Research Assurances, cregenol@iastate.edu, 515-294-1516.
