Guide: Matching Your CITI Account to Your 91¿´Æ¬ SSO Account

The 91¿´Æ¬ requires all individuals to complete mandatory training who are investigators conducting research using recombinant or synthetic DNA/RNA and other biohazardous agents. These training modules must be completed before IBC approval will be issued for a new project or before new personnel are added to a protocol.

Through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program (www.citiprogram.org), training modules are available for 91¿´Æ¬ faculty, staff and students who are investigators or key personnel working with recombinant or synthetic DNA/RNA and other biohazardous agents. For assistance with registering and completing CITI training, review the IBC CITI Training Guide.

91¿´Æ¬ recognizes valid CITI training for four (4) years from the completion date.
