The UAMS IRB requires all UAMS study staff engaged in research to complete human subject protection training once every three years. If you are new to UAMS from another institution, you may have already have done such training through citiprogram.org at your previous workplace. To meet the UAMS training requirements, you might only have to affiliate with UAMS or ACH at citiprogram.org and take a few UAMS-specific modules online.
To check, please log in at citiprogram.org, affiliate with your new institution (ACH or UAMS), and see where the program takes you. If you are directed to complete only the two UAMS-specific modules, go ahead and complete those. However, if citiprogram.org is directing you to retake the entire course, please contact the IRB for further direction before beginning. Send a query to irb@uams.edu with your current CITI training certificate attached. We will check to see if the modules you have already completed are comparable to our required training. If so, we can give you credit for the training you have already completed.
