RCR training for DUHS IRB study personnel

All DUHS IRB study personnel must complete a series of trainings, including a specific Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) course. This specific training is required even if it would not otherwise be required as part of a specific RCR program.

The Collaborative Institution Training Initiative (CITI) is an outside platform for accessing many institutional trainings. Duke has multiple organizational affiliations with CITI, so be sure to login through "Duke RCR" to access Duke's online RCR options. Please note that other training required for DUHS IRB study personnel must be accessed through the “Duke Health” affiliation.

The required course is titled Responsible Conduct of Research - Staff – BASIC (ID 199263). This specific course is required even if you are not technically in a staff role. In order to receive credit, you must achieve 80% or higher on each of the required module quizzes. You will have the opportunity to re-take the quizzes and review the material as many times as necessary to achieve 80% or higher. Estimated time to complete is 1.5-3 hours
