Researchers and Program Managers, Update Your CITI Compliance Training Requirements

On behalf of Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

Please ensure that your CITI Program Compliance training is current as required by the University and state and federal funding agencies.

Compliance is a critical part of the operation of any university, and non-compliance can negatively affect not only a single researcher but all university researchers. CSU Pueblo provides all faculty, staff, and students with the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) for its research compliance training requirements.

New to the CITI Program? CITI is utilized by the Top-25 Best National Universities, 95% of Carnegie R1 Research Universities, more than 12 million users, with more than 22 million total course completions.

With the recent influx of federal funding across the university, institutional compliance and proof of individual research compliance training and updates have become an even more essential requirement. In addition, individual non-compliance can also lead to research misconduct, so don’t delay!

Fall 2023 Course - Cannabis Regulation

On behalf of the Cannabis, Biology, Chemistry (CBC) Program

CBC 491 3 credits Tuesday / Thursday 2:00-3:20

No prerequisite – open to all majors

Cannabis legal reform was launched by various States who dared to defy social convention and an entrenched culture of prohibition. Early reform efforts focused on limited decriminalization of marijuana by individuals who wished to cultivate the plant for personal medical treatment. As reform gained ground, a legitimate industry began to take shape despite the significant constraints presented by federal prohibition.

Non-psychoactive varieties of Cannabis, commonly called hemp, became a popular focus of reform as new technologies and markets emerged for Cannabis as a more energy-efficient, and less expensive substitute for a growing variety of household and industrial applications. Government regulators, law enforcement agents, and courts face increasing pressure to solve novel and enduring challenges in managing emerging interstate markets for Cannabis and Cannabis products.

This writing-intensive course explores the evolving landscape of Cannabis legal reform as it is now manifesting at the federal, state, and local levels. It seeks a broad and cohesive understanding of what has changed, why, and how change was even possible in the first place. Students should gain a deeper understanding of federalism, congressional powers, interstate commerce, the discriminatory origins of the War on Drugs, as well as policy considerations taken by states seeking to legalize medical or adult-use marijuana, and hemp. This course is an excellent complement to those studying cannabis, economics, history, sociology, anthropology, or criminal justice or pre-law.

Fall 2023 Course - Pharmaceutical Chemistry, CHEM 491

On behalf of Chemistry

You have likely seen advertisements on TV promoting new medications. Pharmaceutical companies such as, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Abbvie, Bristol Myers Squibb, and Merck, are always looking for emerging biologists, chemists, and engineers from schools like CSU Pueblo.

As a 40 year veteran of one of these pharmaceutical giants, I want to share the available opportunities in this field. The topics covered include the diverse specialized work that you would encounter and likely get to choose from. Being a practicing synthetic organic chemist in both chemical development and large-scale production technical services, I will be teaching the molecular progression from lab-scale discovery to post-launch, long-term production of ton-scale agricultural, pharmaceutical, and antibiotic molecular structures. This course also covers techniques and strategies employed to quickly and successfully solve a myriad of challenges in this field.
