CITI Training

Ohio State requires all faculty, staff, trainees and students eligible to conduct research to be trained in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) through the online Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) RCR course every four years.  Depending on the grant type or funding, additional courses may be required.

Beginning in 2024, in alignment with federal requirements and the university’s shared values, this course must be completed every four years within 60 days of assignment and is required of:

  • all those eligible to conduct research, including faculty, staff, trainees and students, regardless of funding source
  • all those who have completed some form of RCR training but not the CITI RCR course

Required CITI training for CRPs at Ohio State includes:  Human Subject Protection (HSP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR).
