Reseach Ethics & Open access

Most US funding bodies require awardees to be certified within areas relating to their project, e.g. conflict of interests, human subjects research, animal welfare, or clinical trials. To support researchers Karolinska Institutet (KI) provides training in these areas. 

Research Ethics

International funding agencies may have additional ethical requirements to the Swedish legislation. Therefore the funded research projects must also comply with both the international and national requirements. For questions and additional information regarding ethical requirements, please contact compliance@ki.se.

CITI program

KI subscribes to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program), which offers various research, ethics, compliance, and safety courses. The CITI training page provides detailed information about the program.

Open Access

Many funding agencies require open access to publications and more often also to the underlying data. Find out more about the EU requirements or NIH's public access policy. Please make sure to read the specific requirements for your project, and contact the KI Research Data Office at: rdo@ki.se
