CITI Training Overview
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.
- Investigators who have completed a human subjects research training course other than CITI may upload documentation of their training in their OneAegis profile. BYU IRB will determine whether the non-CITI training course satisfies the mandatory education requirement.
