Required RCR Training
All individuals involved in research are required to complete the CITI Responsible Conduct of Research course before performing research activities. This requirement also applies to faculty mentors listed in the IRB application who are responsible for the conduct of research for their students. Re-certification is required every 4 years.
- Responsible Conduct of Research (CITI)
Trainees who receive National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institute of Health (NIH) or other support from a training grant may be required to complete additional, in person, discussion-based RCR training. The University of Pittsburgh Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI) holds RCR Center workshops which may meet these requirements. If you have any questions about this additional requirement, contact Teri Reiche at tmr75@pitt.edu.
Other Required Training
There are other training requirements in place to ensure the integrity of research activities at all stages. Learn more about these requirements, along with the online portals used to deliver the training.
