How to Enroll in CITI RCR Courses
- Login with your MSU NetID. The FIRST TIME you may get a warning that you are creating a new account. If asked, we recommend approving the merge of any previous accounts.
- Ensure you have MSU as your institution (image) and use the Learner tools to Add a Course (image).
Graduate Students, Undergrads and others funded by NSF or USDA - Under Responsible Conduct of Research question, respond Yes, and then select the "MSU Graduate School RCR Program." (image of results) Respond "No" to all other questions.
Clinical Researchers - Select "GCP for Clinical Trials" the first time. You may answer "No or Not at all" to questions. If you have already completed the initial set of CITI modules and are scheduled for refresher GCP training, select a new option.
Course vs CITI Module - CITI Programs uses the term Course for group of modules in a subject. Each of the RCR CITI modules is a single course in the MSU Ability compliance training system. See the list of modules that will be MSU courses (image).
