CITI Programs in Research Education
"To promote the public's trust in the research enterprise by providing high quality, peer reviewed, web based,
research education materials to enhance the integrity and professionalism of investigators and staff conducting
research." - CITI
Kenyon currently subscribes to 4 distinct CITI courses; Human Subjects Research,
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR), Animal Research, and the Conflicts of
Interest course (COI).
Any Kenyon student, faculty member, or employee may take any of the offered courses. Some courses
may be required of certain members of the Kenyon Community in order for the college to be in
compliance with Federal Regulations.
Any Kenyon student or employee may go to the CITI web site and register affiliating with Kenyon
College. (Please use your legal name and preferably your Kenyon email address.)
Once you are registered, you will be able to enroll in any of the courses that you need/want to take. The
courses are made up of modules. You may complete a single module at a time and repeat any module.
Once you complete a course, you will be able to print out a certificate for that course. You will also be
able to revisit completed modules or take elective/optional modules.
