Question 1 provides options for Initial HSP Training.

At any time during the taking of a group of modules, you are able to quit and return to the course later. However, you must quit after taking the quiz for a particular module, not DURING the taking of that quiz, or your answers will not be recorded. You can view your grades by clicking on “Grade Book” at the top. If you scored at least 75%, you should be able to click on the link “Return to the Main Menu to print a CITI Course Completion Certificate” or it may take you to the page automatically. There will be a link available to “View Completion Report.” This opens a new window and shows your scores, date completed, etc. for a given group of modules. PRINT THIS REPORT FOR YOUR RECORDS – THIS IS YOUR CERTIFICATION OF COMPLETION OF CITI. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY OTHER DOCUMENTATION FROM THE IRB OR CITI.

The CITI system will automatically email a copy to the IRB. We will then update the e-irb database. Once you complete the required group(s), you are certified in Human Subjects Protections for two years. Every two years you will be asked to complete a “Continuing education” component to maintain certification.
