Research Integrity and Compliance

Online RCR Training

Utah State University subscribes to online training programs offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). Two courses are currently available, which support USU certification programs for Human Research Protections training (also referred to as IRB certification) and Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training. When registering for training on CITI’s web site, you will be able to choose either or both of these courses.

The RCR training program USU has set up through CITI is a required component of the Graduate Scholars’ Certification Program, sponsored by the School of Graduate Studies and the Office of Compliance Assistance. IF you plan to complete this course, please review USU Introductory Module first, before completing other training modules. It will provide instructions concerning the completion of the on-line training and explain other aspects of the certification program.
