Getting Started
The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program's Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training modules are accessible to MU personnel using single sign-on (SSO) authentication from any computer with Internet connectivity.
Please note: CITI Program RCR training does not address the requirements for Institutional Review Board (IRB) training. For CITI Program IRB training, please review information for Human Subjects Research and the IRB submission/review process.
Log in to the CITI Program RCR training.
From the CITI Program main page:
- Under "Main Menu/My Courses," click the “University of Missouri-Columbia Courses” tab to view the courses you are enrolled in for the University of Missouri.
- Click "Add a Course" to select other available courses for completion.
- Select “Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)” under Question 2 and click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.
Upon entering the course, the "Grade Book" will be displayed which will track progress of module completion.
Before beginning the course modules, you will be prompted to complete the required "Integrity Assurance Statement." This statement certifies that you are the person taking the course and that you are not taking the course for someone else.
Complete each module of the course by taking the quiz at the end. To pass the course, you must achieve a score of at least 80% on all quizzes within the training.
You do not need to complete the course in one sitting. You can expect to spend approximately two hours completing the required training.
