2. CITI Training for all individuals involved in the research (It is recommended that one completes the Social-Behavioral modules. Instructions for CITI Registration.

3. Research Proposal

4. Recruitment Material

Please submit your completed application hrpp@newschool.edu. All new applications are reviewed within 2-3 business days.

Human Subjects Training (CITI)

The New School as of January 1, 2023, now requires all students, faculty and staff who are conducting research to complete CITI Training. You can access the CITI website by going to www.citiprogram.org. When registering there will be an option to affiliate with The New School. You should NOT "pay" for the training. Please see the CITI Training Registration document for additional instructions.

CITI Training is a requirement for ALL researchers regardless of the determination. Most researchers (students/faculty) should choose the Social-Behavioral modules to full-fill this requirement.
