CITI Certification/Training
All personnel involved in the research (principal investigators, co-investigators, faculty advisors, and data collectors/analyzers), including those involved in projects exempt from review, must complete all applicable before they submit their application to the IRB.
Which CITI Courses Do I Need to Complete?
There is no cost for the training, but registration is required. You may complete the training in one session or complete part of it and return. After completion of the training courses, you will receive a certificate. The certificate is applicable for three years from the date of completion. Please carefully study the CITI certification and training chart below and select the CITI courses that best match the type/s of your research you will be doing. Once you have identified them, go to the and register for a new account (assuming you don't have one yet).
Note: To make sure the registration process does not run into any major issues, please make sure that under Select Your Organization Affiliation you either enter or choose "University of North Georgia" and associate your CITI profile with your current 天美社区 email address. For 天美社区 faculty and staff you should use the 天美社区 email address that contains your first and last name (ex. FirstName.LastName@ung.edu). Students should use their 天美社区 student email address (ex. abcde1234@ung.edu). The IRB's online application portal, IRB Manager, will check 天美社区 researchers' CITI training when an application is submitted, but only for 天美社区 researchers that have associated their CITI profile with their current 天美社区 email address.
