CITI Login and Registration:

Approval of a research project by the IRB requires that all investigators complete the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Basic Course and take a refresher course every three years.

As of July 1st, 2006, the University shifted from the NIH to the University of Miami, CITI training course.  Those who have completed the NIH course are exempted from taking the CITI Basic course and should take the Refresher course to remain eligible to conduct human subjects research. See more information on CITI on their website.

Mandatory CITI education fulfills Missouri State University commitment to promote ethical conduct towards Human Subjects in all research projects, funded or unfunded.  Missouri State University maintains an Assurance from the Office for Human Subject Protections identified as Federal Wide Assurance 00004733.  As part of the Assurance, Missouri State University is committed to following the ethical principals found in the Belmont Report and assures that all Faculty, Staff and Students involved in human subject research projects receive the CITI training in Human Subject Protections.

All personnel listed on an IRB Application, who do not have valid proof of current CITI education WILL NOT BE SENT A CONFIRMATION LETTER advising of IRB approval. The PI will be advised to ensure compliance of the training requirements for the human subjects protection.
