For Investigators

Computer Based Training

NHGRI follows the policy set by NIH OHSRP (see NIH HRPP SOP 25 v.1 5-31-13 ) . Training records, requirements and access to required courses may be found at the OHSRP website: https://federation.nih.gov/ohsr/nih/investigator-training.php. 

Other "just-in-time" courses through CITI are optional unless specifically requested by the IRB.  PIs may elect to require their research staff to take specific "just-in-time" CITI courses when relevant to the content of their research.
