| AECOM's global student competition, Urban SOS: All Systems Go, is now open and information is available here. The pre-registration of interest deadline is June 21. The K-State Office of Research Compliance is changing research compliance training for faculty and students. ORC training for our college is most often related to IRB review/approval/exemption. The current on-line training, developed at KSU, will be replaced by subscription to a service with the acronym of CITI. Your current certification will continue until your three year period runs out (at which time you will receive notice). All faculty engaged in or supervising research involving human subjects must complete IRB training. A CITI demo is available at: http://www.citiprogram.org/citidocuments/forms/newsubs.pdf. Questions should be directed to Maggie Behnke (URCO) 2-3233 or msbehnke@ksu.edu .
All courses must be moved to K-State Online powered by
Canvas by December 31, 2015. Please take advantage of the one-on-one training and help opportunities now. To learn about Canvas training, view the training page of the Canvas website here.
