The on-line UCSF Human Research Protection Training Program has been replaced with the nationally-recognized and widely-used on-line training program called the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI).  Beginning February 1, 2008, the CITI program, which will be hosted by UCSF, will be the required training for UCSF personnel conducting human research.  

Who must complete the training?  The UCSF HRPP requires that all Key Research Personnel at UCSF or affiliated sites complete the on-line UCSF-hosted Human Subject Protections Training program. All CHR members and HRPP staff are also required to complete this training.  If you have already completed the previous on-line training, this training will remain valid until February of 2009.  However, if you have not yet completed any training, then you will be required to take the CITI training.  Anyone may take this CITI training now, even if you have taken the previous on-line training.  

Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions about On-Line Training Requirements on the HRPP website for additional information about how to access and register for this training.
