Online RCR Training Course through the CITI Program

To create an account in the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program, on the citiprogram.org home page, click on the Register button in the upper right. Click on “Log in through my Organization” at the top of the page. Enter “UConn – Storrs and Regional Campuses” in the search box. Then click “Continue to SSO Login/instructions.” The CITI Single Sign-on (SSO) will use your UConn NetID and password for your account. (The system will ask you if there is another CITI account you would like to associate with your NetID account, and this option can be used to merge an old account with your new SSO account.) Follow the prompts to create a new account. Once you are logged in and under the UConn affiliation, select “add a course” to be led to the course selection page. Select the Responsible Conduct of Research course. A copy of your Completion Report will automatically be sent to the RCR Program Office.

Face-to-Face Workshops and Courses

At least 8 hours of RCR face-to-face training must be completed to meet NIH requirements and will eliminate the need to complete the online CITI RCR modules.
