ATTN. Faculty: The NIH and NSF Office of Inspector General assign primary responsibility to universities for detecting and preventing research misconduct and for establishing a culture that emphasizes responsible conduct of research. Increasing research at SHSU depends on the University maintaining the highest ethical standards in the conduct of research. Ergo, there is a training course, which is offered by Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) that you can register for and complete in order to meet this requirement [FYI - ONLY for those making application to NSF or NIH]. Please visit this link to complete this process:
