CITI Program: Human Subjects Research and Responsible Conduct of Research

Training skill Research
Granted by CITI Program Usual length Hours to days Level All levels

The awarding body’s page Fees, dates and entry requirements are there, not here.

What it is

Online courses that are the most widely used way, in American universities and many others, of showing that a researcher has been trained before their study goes to an ethics committee: human subjects research in a biomedical and a social-behavioural-educational track, and the responsible conduct of research, covering authorship, data management and research misconduct. They are usually requested when a researcher joins a project with, or funded by, a foreign university.

Who it suits

Researchers, postgraduate students and ethics committee members, and anyone joining research funded by or shared with a foreign institution.

What it requires

No academic prerequisite. Access is usually through a university subscription, and some courses are open to individual learners.

How it is earned

The learner picks the track that fits the study, each module has a short quiz, and the result is a completion record attached to the committee application. Ask the reviewing body which course it requires, as there are many tracks.
