Human Subject Protection in Research
Training Alternatives

Certification that one has completed training in human subject protection in research is required of all Georgetown University faculty, investigators, study coordinators and other individuals directly involved in human subject research. An individual may complete this training, which should be updated every three years, by:

  1. Completing the on-line course from Collaborative IRB Training Initiative (CITI) . You will need to register and create your own username and password. Please select Georgetown University as your institution. You can print out a certificate upon completion for your own records. CITI automatically keeps track of Georgetown University participants and profiles us with completion data.

    CME/CEU credits for the CITI Basic course are available through the University of Miami Office of Continuing Medical Education who provide up to 6 Category 1 Continuing Medical Education credits for Physicians, Physician's Assistants, Nurse Practitioners and Psychologists. To be eligible for 6 Credits you must complete a minimum of 12 modules from the Biomedical Track and you must have an aggregate score of 70% correct on the quizzes. More information is available on the CITI webpage.


  2. Taking the Clinical Research Training course. Upon completion this on-line program prints a completion certificate.

A copy of these certificates needs to be forwarded to:
