CITI Training
The successful completion of the basic course will satisfy institutional requirements for 5 years, after which a refresher course is required. Investigators and research personnel must satisfy these ethics training requirements before they can be approved as part of the research personnel.
- BYU IRB Tutorial certificates dated before January 01, 2016 are not accepted.
- Researchers who have completed a human subjects research training course other than CITI may upload documentation of their training in their iRIS profile. BYU IRB will determine whether the non-CITI training course satisfies the mandatory education requirement.

It includes information such as the name of the course, the date of completion, and the date of expiration. The certificate will usually suffice for research courses that require students to complete the training.
