Research Compliance Training

NKU requires all researchers to:

• Take and pass the required research-relevant courses (animal subjects, human subjects, general research) with an 80% or higher for each individual module.

Researchers submitting grants through the Office of Research, Grants and Contracts to:

• Take and pass a Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) module (Financial Conflicts of Interest: Overview, Investigator Responsibilities, and COI Rules (COI-Basic)) with an 80% or higher.
• Take and pass the Responsible Conduct of Research Mentoring and Healthy Research Environments module in CITI with an 80% or higher. 

Please note:

The CITI training system only requires an 80% average on all modules, however, NKU requires 80% on each individual module. Please be sure to pass each quiz with an 80% or higher.

Students/trainees that are funded by either National Science Foundation (NSF) or select National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants are required to:

• Take and pass the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) course with an 80% or higher for each individual module.

Please note:

CITI will tell you that you are passing with 80% but you will not pass unless you have an 80% or higher on each individual module.
