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! 

To access the Office of Research and Sponsored Program’s Compliance Training Requirements and CITI Sign up/in instructions, follow the link below.

PSYC 380: Nutrition for Mental Health Fundamentals!

On behalf of the Psychology Department

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for Mental Health? Well, yes, actually, for both short and long term benefit…when it’s made with chickpeas! (And it’s delicious, trust me!) An estimated 90% of our serotonin is made in the gut, which is ruled by 100 trillion bacteria! And when they’re happy, they help us be happy! Chickpeas are loaded with the fiber our microbiota love and include the tryptophan, B6, and iron needed to make serotonin, our “happiness molecule”! Have your doubts about the cookie dough? What about Kung Pao Chickpeas? Hummus? Crispy Chickpeas? Taken on its own or as the prerequisite for the Spring term’s Advanced section, this class will explore the fundamentals of Nutrition for Mental Health, covering the basics of nutrition, the gut-brain-immune axis, HPA axis, and neurotransmitters, while also looking at popular diets, food blogs, and easy-to-make recipes. That cookie dough? We’ll be trying it in class! Hope to see you!

CHEM 125/L: Introduction to Environmental Science (GenEd Science)

We will survey environmental science topics, considering the sustainability of human activities on the planet. Students will study ecological principles that govern the world and will examine current environmental problems and issues and develop a greater awareness of global interdependence and the role of individuals in affecting environmental issues.

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.
