OSPRA | Office of Sponsored Programs and Research Activities
The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) is dedicated to serving the training and compliance needs of colleges and universities, as they foster integrity and professional advancement of their learners.
Through OSPRA, the University subscribes to these courses, and they are made available to the UDM community free of charge. The Conflict of Interest course and discipline specific required courses are available for biomedical, social & behavioral research, the physical sciences, humanities, engineers, and administrators.
The CITI Programs Conflict of Interest course is required for all UDM members seeking any form of research or program funding (grant, subaward, contract, UDMPU Faculty Research Award, etc.).
The courses can be completed over several sessions. Quizzes are given following the reading material. When the required modules are successfully completed, a Course Completion Report is available for download/printing.
