The CITI Program’s educational services are leveraged by more than 2,200 organizations worldwide. CITI courses are designed to improve the knowledge of staff, students, and investigators conducting research on a local, state, national, and even global scale.

CITI materials are also aimed at administrators of ethics committees who review and supervise research. Each CITI course continually undergoes strict peer review to ensure accuracy and learner engagement.

The Office of Research Services

Within the Mount Sinai Health System, the Office of Research Services is the first stop in navigating the ethical management and execution of research. It offers the Research Roadmap as well as consultations for regulatory support, training, education, and research communications. By ensuring access to CITI Program courses, the Office further elevates its mission to support ethical research within the Health System.

How Can I Access CITI Program Courses?

To access all courses, users must log in through the CITI Program portal. To assist with this process, Icahn Mount Sinai has created a brief tutorial demonstrating how to create a new account, how to log in with an existing account, and how to add a new course.
