Responsible Conduct of Research

You will need to provide proof of satisfying the Responsible Conduct of Research Training.

This requirement may be fulfilled by completing the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) online Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) course with a score of 80% or higher.

To complete the CITI online RCR course, you will first need to register with the CITI site.

The RCR program is comprised of a series of modules, each of which consists of readings and case studies and ends with a quiz covering the material. The program allows you to enter and exit at any point and to re-take the quiz associated with each section.

Once you have successfully completed the appropriate version of the CITI RCR program with a passing grade of 80% or higher, print the “Completion Report” as documentation, and submit with your Application to Candidacy Form.
