In compliance with Brown’s Institutional Review Board Policy on Education and Training in the Conduct of Human Subjects Research (Education and Training Policy), all research personnel who are engaged in human subjects research are required to have appropriate education and training to protect participants in research. As you embark on research journeys in this program where you may come in contact with research participants and/or their research data and identifiers, we require all students to complete a basic course on appropriately handling research data.
Brown uses the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) Program’s research ethics and compliance web-based human research courses to satisfy the requirements of the Education and Training Policy.
All students are required to complete the Group 1: Social-Behavioral-Educational Researchers and Key Personnel course through Brown's CITI program. After completing it, please download your certificate and upload it using this form.

If you have already completed CITI training at your current organization, you will be required to complete the refresher course at Brown. Please select Returning CITI Users Who Are New to Brown if you are a returning CITI user.
