About Required Research Security Training

In compliance with notices issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), 成人快手 requires Research Security Training for Senior/Key Personnel on NSF and NIH sponsored funding applications. 成人快手 is using the CITI platform to administer and track Research Security Training, which will also populate the eBridge Researcher Profile post-completion. 成人快手 will certify compliance as part of the application, and proposals submitted without this certification may be deemed non-compliant. There is validation built into the eBridge system that will stop a Funding Proposal from advancing to GCO for review if there is missing RST. It is the responsibility of the PI to make sure the training is taken and the Researcher Profile reflects this training to prevent any delays in review.

Follow this (PDF) to complete Research Security Training in CITI.

Note that this is the only acceptable institutional mechanism to validate Research Security Training. Personnel participating on 成人快手 projects must take Research Security Training in CITI. Consortium partners can also take this training in CITI. These users can register for a free account in CITI and complete the condensed course in about an hour. The CITI training records are updated daily. The eBridge Help Desk is unable to verify the accuracy of a submitted CITI ID or training record, therefore the following troubleshoots can help ensure a record is updated accurately:
  • Confirm the CITI ID is entered on the person record in eBridge
  • Confirm the CITI account is associated with 成人快手
  • Confirm that the first name, last name, and email address in CITI match what is entered in Workday

CITI records populate in eBridge daily at 6 p.m. If you are experiencing difficulty getting your CITI Research Security Training record to show up in eBridge, please contact research@mcw.edu.

  • 1 hour: Research Security Training (Combined Course) A condensed and combined single-module course based on the NSF鈥檚 Research Security Training
  • 1-1.5 hours: Research Security Training (Basic/NSF course)
  • 2-3 hours: Research Security Advanced Refresher
After I've taken the initial training, am I required to take the Advanced Refresher Training?
The Office of Research recommends taking the Advanced Refresher following completion of either the Combined Course or the Basic Course, however retaking the Combined Course is also acceptable for maintaining an active training status.
Who on my grant is required to take Research Security Training?
All Senior/Key Personnel are required to be compliant with Research Security Training. S/K Personnel are defined as: The PD/PI and other individuals who contribute to the scientific development or execution of a project in a substantive, measurable way, whether or not they receive salaries or compensation under the grant. Consultants and those with a postdoctoral role also may be considered senior/key personnel if they meet this definition. Senior/key personnel must devote measurable effort to the project whether or not salaries or compensation are requested.
What if a subaward recipient requires training?
The subrecipient institution must certify that all S/K personnel participating in the project have completed Research Security Training. If attestation is required by the subsite at the time of progress report submission, this cover letter should be signed by the PI and sent to GCO for Authorized Organizational Representative signature: (DOC).
Why does my training not show up in my eBridge Researcher Profile?

These are some common reasons that CITI training does not appear in the Researcher Profile:

  1. The name used in the CITI profile and the eBridge profile differ. For instance, including a suffix (i.e., 鈥淛r.鈥�), middle name or initial, or alternate spelling of a first name (i.e., 鈥淢ike鈥� versus 鈥淢ichael鈥�). Correct the CITI profile to match the eBridge profile.
  2. The email used in the CITI profile and the eBridge profile differ. It is recommended that you use your institutional email address ending in @mcw.edu for both.
  3. The CITI feed has not yet been received by eBridge. This is not immediate, rather it happens weekdays at 6 p.m.
  4. The CITI course was not completed. The course and quiz need to be completed for the training to populate.
