Mandatory CITI Training

The WSU IRB requires that all Principal Investigators, their Chairs, and all personnel working on a research protocol complete the required Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI)  training modules before their projects can receive IRB approval. To access the online training modules from CITI go to:

Below are a step-by-step instructions to using CITI and a more detailed Guide that shows screen shots.


The CITI website will ask you questions about your role in research (i.e., behavioral PI, IRB member, etc.). Based upon your answers, CITI will tell you which modules to take.  The IRB may also ask that you complete additional modules based upon what type of research you are doing (i.e., working with children, international research, etc.).

If you have questions regarding the CITI training please contact the IRB office at (313) 577-1628. Or you may contact CITI directly at (305) 243-7970. For FAQs and general support inquiries, visit the CITI KnowledgeBase.
