Collaborative Initiative for Research Ethics (CIRE) is a national and international website for research ethics training for students, researchers, faculty and community health and environmental professionals/advocates in community/environmental health, environmental sciences, engineering and related sciences. Training resources are available here for human subjects training with an emphasis on community-based studies, participatory research and cultural competence and humility training for ethical research with diverse racial and cultural groups. 

This site, the Collaborative Initiative for Research Ethics (CIRE) has been revised to include two major research ethics grant projects: the Northeast Ethics Education Partnership (NEEP) and the Research Ethics and Environmental Health Project.
