All individuals requiring human subject research must complete the training process via the University's CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) training website at https://www.citiprogram.org. This training must be completed before an individual can be approved as a member of the research team.
The Appropriate Curriculum are: Biomedical Researchers & Students OR Social & Behavioral- Educations Researchers & Students. The Social & Behavioral- Educational Researcher IRB accepts Biomedical Researchers & Students CITI training.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY: There are two training courses: BASIC and
REFRESHER. Basic training must be completed before completing refresher courses. Comparable basic training form other institutions may be considered by contacting the HRPP Office. If the HRPP Office accepts comparable
Basic training, once that comparable training is expired, you must then complete the
UToledo Basic CITI course.
You will first complete the BASIC course. Your BASIC training will expire three years after successful completion. At that point, you will complete the REFRESHER courses every three years in the rotating cycle that your training expires. The system will direct you as to when another Basic course is due in your rotation cycle. Basic training is due once every 9 to 12 years (see below). If you have a lapse in CITI training, you may be informed you are due for BASIC training when the rotation cycle would indicate Refresher training. Please see below the rotating cycles
