What Is CITI?
Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) is a subscription service from the University of Miami providing research ethics education to all members of the research community. This web-based course will take three (3) to six (6) hours to complete depending on an individual's prior knowledge and experience with research, ethical principles and regulations about human subject protections and CITI course requirements. Links to the Belmont Report, the Declaration of Helsinki and OHRP Human Subjects Document Library, as well as the UIC Human Subjects Protection web site can be found on the Institutional Page.
To register for a CITI course, create an account on the CITI website www.citiprogram.org. Each course is followed by a quiz. OPRS is notified by CITI and will send you a certificate upon passing the course, as well as update your information in RiSC.
CITI provides the initial IRB training for both Biomedical and Social Behavioral research, as well as a Refresher course.
Instructions:
- Do one of the following:
- If your research focuses mainly in the behavioral or social sciences, complete the SBR modules 1 - 11.
- If your research focuses mainly in the biomedical or biological sciences, complete the Biomed modules 1 - 14.
- Complete the quiz at the end of each of the required modules.
- Complete the UIC-specific quiz at the end of the course - you will need to select "Go to your Institutional Page".
- Achieve an overall passing score on these quizzes.
- Complete the Course Completion Form at the end of the course. NOTE: Without the information in this form, it is not possible to determine if the initial training requirement has been met and no certification will be provided. The field designated for “department” should include your campus (i.e. Chicago, Rockford, Peoria, VA hospital), College/School, Department/Section, and UIC status (Faculty, Staff, or Student).
