Replacing the NIH ethics certificate

Researchers will be asked to fund their own certificate until at better solution can be found

As you may know, the NIH ethics certificate is no longer available online. We are working on a permanent solution, preferably one that is and will remain free for all researchers. While we work on a solution, researchers who are in need of an ethics certificate (which is required to do research at COBE Lab) will have to purchase an appropriate certificate for themselves online. For the time being, we recommend CITI Program's Social-Behavioral-Educational Basic Course (found here), which can be purchased for $129 per person.

Please note that from November 6th, the NIH ethics course will be available online once again, but that it will come with a new fee of $39.99 per certificate.
