​​​IACUC Training Requirements

Prior to receiving IACUC approval, Principal Investigators and their research staff (including students) must complete training. Training required by IACUC is dependent upon the work being conducted. Training is provided through CITI Program. CITI training is valid for three (3) years, at which time a refresher course will be required to continue projects. Additional training may be required, if determined by the IACUC or Laboratory Animal Manager. Contact iacuc@uwsp.edu​ for questions regarding training.

1. All research personnel working with animals must complete the Working with IACUC Course.
2. If you will be working in the field (in an observational capacity or otherwise), you must also complete the Wildlife Research Course.
3. Animal-specific training is also available, and must be completed for each species you will be working with, whether in the lab or in the field.
   
4. If the research is part of a federally funded grant, Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is required. (Options for RCR most relevant to UWSP are Biomedical, Physical Science, Social & Behavioral, or Humanities, depending on the topic of research.)
