Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)
For your research proposal to be approved, you first must complete the CITI Training.
The CITI Program is a subscription service providing free research ethics education to all members of our on campus research community. The CITI course is a protected site.
If you are new to the site, you may gain access at the following link: https://www.citiprogram.org/?pageID=668. Simply choose Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation and ”Add a course.”
| CAUTION: The ONLY course that will satisfy the IRB CITI requirement is the Social & Behavioral Research-Basic/Refresher, Basic Course. This is true for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for faculty and staff. |
Alternatively, you may log on to CITI and follow these steps:
- Selecting this link will allow faculty and students to take any responsible research training course at no charge to your department.
- Once you have selected the link you will need to select new registration.
- Next select Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation Courses and Add a Course.
- Select the box for Social & Behavioral Research Investigators:
- This is the only box you need to check for IRB purposes.
- Social & Behavioral Research - Basic/Refresher, Basic Course is the only course required for submitting an IRB proposal.
- Please print an electronic version (pdf) of the Completion Report and submit with your proposal.
