CITI Training Instructions
CITI Human Subjects Training Requirement
Chaminade University IRB requires all Principal Investigators (PIs), faculty sponsors, and key personnel involved in a study to complete CITI Human Subjects Training. Faculty sponsors are responsible for ensuring student projects meet ethical and legal standards and must complete the training as well.
- Most certifications are valid for 3 years
- Upload all CITI certificates to the “Attachments” section in eProtocol
NOTE: The IRB may require additional CITI modules based on study type. While not all trainings are mandatory, investigators are encouraged to complete all relevant modules to strengthen research ethics and participant protection.
Required and Elective Training Modules
The CITI Training is pre-programmed with different selections for courses for CUH Biomedical and Social/Behavioral/Educational Researchers.
The list of required and elective trainings that the IRB has requested of CUH Investigators is shown in Attachment A, also found on page 36 of the charter. There are two types of courses: R (required) and E (elective). Your choice of electives should focus on the type of research you are planning to engage in:
For example, a criminology researcher should take the module on working with Prisoners, and educational researchers should take the module on Working in Public and State Schools. Please contact the IRB Chair or IRB Administrator if you have question on which elective modules to take.
