What is the primary focus of the Human Subjects Research module in CITI training?

The primary focus of the Human Subjects Research module in CITI training is on the ethical and regulatory requirements for conducting research with human participants. This is crucial because research involving human subjects raises unique ethical considerations that must be addressed to protect the rights and welfare of participants. The CITI training provides guidance on obtaining informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and adhering to federal regulations and institutional policies related to human subjects research. Understanding these aspects is essential for researchers to conduct ethical studies and navigate the complexities involved in research practices that affect individuals directly.
