To be added to a protocol involving animals:

• Complete your Novelution profile.  You will receive an email from the Novelution system when your PI / advisor adds you to the protocol, if you do not already have a Novelution profile. This is where all your training documentation is stored, so it’s important to complete this step first.

• Complete the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) process.  This process can take up to 21 days, so plan accordingly.

• Complete a training log reflecting you are trained and proficient in all responsibilities listed for you in the Responsibilities portion of the Research Team Panel of the protocol.

• Complete general CITI training:
  • If working with laboratory mice or rats: 
    • Complete the Rodent Research Course.
  • If working with live vertebrates (non-wildlife, non-rodent):
    •   Complete the Working with the IACUC Course.
  • If working with live vertebrate wildlife animals: 
    • Complete the Wildlife Research Course.
  • If working in extension and may use live vertebrate animals for demonstration/exhibition:
    • Complete the Extension Agents course.
• Complete species-specific CITI training, ex.:

• • Working with Mice in Research Settings

• • Working with Genetically Modified Mice in Research Settings

• • Working with Cattle Amphibians in Research Settings

• • Working with Cattle in Agricultural Research Settings

• • Working with Sheep and Goats in Research Settings

Etc. (these are only a few examples)
