The online UCSF Human Research Protection Training Program has been replaced with the nationally recognized and widely used online training program called the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). As of March 1, 2009, all UCSF Key Personnel conducting human research will be required to complete the online CITI training. The prior training is no longer valid for the CHR and Contracts and Grants.

Review our Frequently Asked Questions About CITI Training for information on how to access and register for this training. If you have questions about the Responsible Condcut in Research (RCR) modules, please visit the Contracts and Grants website.

If you are unsure if your human subjects training is current, please check our completition lists:
