required by the IRB.

Select the course that relates to you/your research:

Biomedical Research: Individuals who conduct any biomedical research should select this course during the registration
process. You must satisfactorily complete all the quizzes in order to pass.
 Social/Behavioral Research: Individuals who conduct only social/behavioral research should select this course during the
registration process. You must satisfactorily complete all the quizzes in order to pass.
 External Collaborator: This course is only for non-SLU collaborators, such as community partners (not SLU faculty, staff or
students), who are assisting on a SLU research project and have been instructed to take this course. Those who routinely
