What is CITI The Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative CITI is a web based training package on issues relating to human subjects research. The CITI web site is maintained by the University of Miami, with content developed by a national consortium.

Over 1. 30. 0 institutions are using CITI for their mandatory training. Which CITI modules are required The modules are grouped by categories of research. You only need to complete one group of modules. You should choose the group that best fits the type of research you normally conduct. If in doubt, ask your IRB. Group 1 Biomedical Research Medical, physiological or pharmacological studies that typically involve direct contact with subjects. Includes, but is not limited to, research with drugs, devices or other interventions. Group 2 Social and Behavioral Research Studies on sociological, psychological, anthropological or educational phenomena that typically involve direct contact with subjects.
