Human Subject Protection Training Instructions

Researchers and study teams that are required to complete human subject protection training through the CITI program once every three years. Community partners who work with researchers have the option of completing human subject protection training through the CIRTification program instead. CIRTification is a free human subjects protection program designed for non-scientists who do not routinely work in research.

Note that the IRB accepts CIRTification training ONLY for community partners. Community partners don’t routinely work in research but assist research teams in conducting research in the community.

For CITI training:

  • Go to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program) website
  • Register
  • Affiliate with UAMS or Arkansas Children’s Research Institute
  • Add the Basic Human Subject Protection training course for either Biomedical or Social Behavioral Research (whichever applies to your area)
  • Complete the modules, with a score of 100% on each

Your training information should update in Clinical Research Administration (CLARA) automatically, within 24 hours.

If you have completed CITI Program training through an institution other than UAMS or Arkansas Children’s Research Institute, you will need to affiliate with UAMS or Arkansas Children’s Research Institute in the CITI Program and complete any additional training modules.

For CIRTification training:

•            Go to https://training.ccts.uic.edu/

•            Click “register (top right hand corner). Select “I am not from UIC.”

•            Complete the registration form. When asked to select a site, select “University Arkansas for Medical Sciences”

•            Click “Register” to finish.

•            Visit the Course Catalog. Information about CIRTification will appear. Click “Learn More” and “Enroll” to enroll in CIRTification.
