CITI Ethics Training

Ethics training

The Office of Academic Affairs at Linfield University subscribes to CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) to provide all training for researchers and administrators in the areas of human subjects, animal, and biomedical research, as well as training in Conflicts of Interest, Good Clinical Practices, Information Privacy Security and Responsible Conduct of Research.

IRB training requirements

All members of the Linfield University community who are engaged in human subjects research are required to complete training and submit a completion report to the IRB, along with their application. Applications will not be reviewed until verification of completed ethics training is complete.

If you have a current training certificate (completed in the last three years from either NIH or CITI), your training is still valid.

Setting up a CITI account or adding Linfield University to an existing account

  • Add Affiliation: How to add Linfield as an affiliate institution if you already have a CITI account.

IRB Users

All researchers involved in human subjects research are required to complete training. CITI provides modules specific to the type of human subjects research in which you are engaged (biomedical, social and behavioral) - please choose accordingly. It may be that you will need to complete both modules depending on the nature of your study.
