I am a non-Partners research collaborator relying on the Partners IRB for IRB review OR coming onsite to conduct research at a Partners institution. I have completed the CITI course requirements of my own institution. Do I need to complete another CITI course?
No,
email a copy of the completion report to your protocol administrator (if known) or the Partners CITI Administrator.
I completed a course at a non-Partners institution. Will you accept CITI courses completed at non-Partners institutions?
The Boston area academic medical centers accept one another’s CITI completion reports. All other course completions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact the Partners CITI Administrator for more information.
How
will I know when it’s time to take the Refresher Course?
You should receive an auto-generated email notification from the University of Miami CITI Program with the Subject line: CITI Program mail reminder 30 days and again 7 days prior to your expiration date of your completed CITI course. You can look up your completion date by:
- Looking at the Staff & Access page of any protocol you are listed on. The CITI course completion date appears in the Certification Date column next to the CITI Certified column.
- Using the Training Lookup feature in Insight. See answer to next question.
- Logging in to the CITI Program Website and clicking on View Previously Completed Coursework
Note: Completed courses are good for 3 years.
How
do I find out if someone has completed the required
CITI training?
The Insight Research Portal now includes a Training Lookup feature that allows Insight users to search by investigator/study staff person’s name and training type (IRB, IACUC, IBC, RCR, COI) or by protocol number or agreement proposal number. The Training Look Up is available to everyone with access to Insight. In addition, for users of the Insight Humans module, CITI training completion dates for study staff display on the Staff & Access page of every human protocol.
How
will I know when my CITI training date has expired?
See above answer to look up your completion/expiration dates. You should also receive an auto-generated email notification from the University of Miami CITI Program with the Subject line: [persons' name] CITI Completion Report Has Expired 1 day after your CITI training has expired. Be sure your current primary email address listed in your CITI profile is a Partners.org or other Partners/Harvard Institution email address.
