CITI Human Subjects Training

向日葵视频Training Requirements

***ATTENTION INVESTIGATORS*** Current MU CITI Training is required for all new submissions. Lack of appropriate training will delay the review/approval of any new submissions.

Certification of human subjects research training is required for all principal investigators (PI), student principal investigators, and faculty advisers. Additionally, anyone serving as a member of the research team engaged in any of the following activities should complete training as well:

  • obtaining information about living individuals by intervening or interacting with them for research purposes;
  • obtaining identifiable private information about living individuals for research purposes;
  • obtaining the voluntary informed consent of individuals to be subjects in research; and
  • studying, interpreting or analyzing identifiable private information or data for research purposes.

向日葵视频offers human subjects research training through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). CITI provides web-based training on a variety of research topics whose user base include thousands of institutions and users.

  • All principal investigators must complete either Learner Group 1: Biomedical Research Investigators OR Learner Group 2: Social and Behavioral Research Investigators.**
  • It is the responsibility of the PI to determine which CITI learner group members of the research team who are engaged in the above activities must complete (e.g., Learner Group 1, 2 or 3).

    CITI learner group courses. principal investigators, student principal investigators, and student advisers must complete either Group 1 or 2. Group 3 may be more appropriate for other research personnel or instructors using CITI as an educational tool.

    Group 1: Biomedical Research Investigators: Choose this group to satisfy CITI training requirements for investigators involved primarily in biomedical research with human subjects. (Required for principal investigators) Group 2: Social and  Behavioral Research Investigators: Choose this group to satisfy CITI training requirements for investigators involved primarily in social and behavioral research with human subjects. (Required for principal investigators) Group 3: Other research personnel not serving as principal investigators or instructors assigning CITI training as a class assignment.

  • If you have an existing CITI account and have previously completed courses from another institution, completed courses that are relevant to Marquette's learner groups can be transferred. IMPORTANT: Completions will only appear if you affiliate your user account with Marquette. See  No. 4 below for instructions.
  • CITI training will need to be renewed every 3 years. If upon submission to the ORC you receive a notice that you need to complete human subjects training but you have completed it in the past, please log in to CITI as there are likely to be refresher modules you need to complete to renew your certification. Please contact the ORC if you have any questions about this.

CITI Instructions

Each learner group contains 10-12 required modules and requires the completion of a brief 3-4 question quiz. Each module may take 10-20 minutes to complete (typically 1.5-2 hours total), and most modules contain a quiz. The modules do not have to be completed all in one session. A minimum cumulative score of 80% is required to pass the training.
