CITI Training for NSF, NIH, and USDA NIFA Programs

All faculty, staff, undergraduates, graduates, and post-doctoral fellows who conduct sponsored program activities and research must complete the following CITI online training: 1.) Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), and 2.) Conflict of Interest (COI). Both courses will require an online refresher course to be completed every 4 years.  

For all existing  awards, all individuals who are currently working the research team must complete this training program prior to July 31, 2023. All project team members who begin working on these existing projects after July 30,2023, must complete this training prior to beginning work on the project.

For all  programs that begin on or after July 31, 2023, all individuals on the research team (faculty, staff, and students) must complete a training certification program prior to beginning work on the  award.

Please note PIs are responsible to ensure that all faculty, senior personnel, staff, undergraduates, and post-doctoral fellows who are working on their project complete the training modules. PIs will use the attached CITI Tracking Template to record the training completion status of everyone who is working on their project.
