All online courses are supported by COPH Office of Educational Technology and Assessment (ETA). The ETA office in conjunction with course instructors, prepares Course-at-a-glance documents for all online courses. The CAGs assist students in learning more about the course, its requirements, course expectations, types of assessments and important testing dates for a given semester. To access these documents, go to the Online Course Listing and click on the course of interest. Once registered, students in all online public health courses are expected to meet certain requirements to successfully participate in their courses. Failure to meet these requirements may cause problems accessing the course materials. It is the student's responsibility to ensure all requirements are met prior to the start of the semester. For a list of technology requirements, how to access your online course website, and order course materials, visit ETA's Technology Requirements page. |

All USF doctoral students must complete training in the responsible conduct of research through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) module most relevant to the student's program of study. The training is available at this page: www.grad.usf.edu/rcr.php. Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is a critical element in training for scholarship. Effective Spring 2013, Office of Graduate Studies requires all new doctoral students to have basic RCR training by completing the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) module most relevant to the student's program of study. The CITI modules have been designed to introduce researchers to various elements of research conduct ranging from research misconduct to data management to mentoring. As this is a minimum requirement, specific doctoral programs may require training that goes beyond the basic components introduced in this module. Graduate Programs that have received Office of Graduate Studies approval for rigorous RCR training consistent with disciplinary standards and practices may exempt their students from the CITI requirement. Students must complete the module, or provide evidence of previous qualified RCR training to their Program Director and Office of Graduate Studies, in the first semester enrolled in a doctoral program. Previous RCR training should have been completed within the past year. Students will be unable to register for courses in a future semester until successful fulfillment of this RCR requirement. Once the training is completed, the Registration hold will be lifted. They have also added several supplemental modules, distinctly curated for both our biomedical and social behavioral investigators, that individuals may complete if they are interested in the offered topic and/or if it is required by their Department. These supplemental modules will not count towards your certification, yet the additional educational information may influence and cultivate your research positively. Once you complete your CITI certification, the updated certificate should appear in the ARC system automatically; however, if your updated certificate does not generate in BullsIRB as you are completing research applications, please contact the ARC Help Desk at RSCH-ARC@usf.edu and our Help Desk team will be able to upload your certificate for you. Please reference the following links for additional information on how to register for a CITI account and USF Human Subject Protection Education CITI course requirements. |
