Important Announcement about Training (04/23/2008)

The Responsible Conduct in Research Online Training Program is no longer being used by WSU for IACUC training purposes. The Committee is using new online training modules from the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Effective immediately, the training modules are required for all Principal Investigators and laboratory personnel prior to approval of all new protocol submissions.

To help you navigate through the CITI training website, the IACUC created the following documents:

• Simple step-by-step instruction sheet.
• Detailed guide that walks you through the set-up and navigation of the CITI website.

The following training courses are required by the IACUC:

FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL (ONCE):

• Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) - a refresher course will be required every three years.
• DLAR Species Specific Training
• DLAR Rodent Surgery Training – for all staff performing rodent survival surgery
• OEHS: AniCon Questionnaire
• OEHS: OSHA Laboratory Standard Training*
  *If your work does not include the handling or manipulation of hazardous chemicals/materials, please contact OEHS (577-1200) for an exemption.

FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL ANNUALLY, if applicable:

• OEHS: Hazardous Waste and Emergency Procedures Training
• OEHS: Biosafety Training
• OEHS: Radiation Generating Machine Safety Training
• OEHS: Basic Radiation/Radioisotope Safety Training
  
  

Informal instruction to investigators and their staff on completing forms and related issues pertinent to IACUC business is provided by the IACUC office and the Program Project Coordinator (Dorinda Monson, (313) 577-1629 or dorinda.monson@wayne.edu) during normal University business hours. Formal instruction sessions for investigators and their research staff are held as needed.
