Bentley University has subscribed to the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI Program).
The CITI Program is a web-based research education platform that provides courses in:
- Human Subjects Research
- Responsible Conduct of Research
- Conflict of Interest
Anyone can register and access the training modules using their Bentley email address.
Students who are receiving funding through an award from the National Science Foundation are required to take Responsible Conduct of Research training and the Principal Investigator is required to ensure this is done.

Human Subjects Research (HSR)
CITI Program’s HSR covers the historical development of human subject protections, as well as current information on regulatory and ethical issues. This training satisfies the NIH requirement for IRB training.
Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)
The RCR series covers core norms, principles, regulations, and rules governing the practice of research. CITI Program’s RCR series consist of a basic course, complemented with a set of additional modules of interest, and a refresher course.
Conflicts of Interest (COI)
The COI series covers the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) regulations on financial conflicts of interest and an investigator’s responsibilities relating to the disclosure of “Significant Financial Interests.” Any Principal Investigator or key personnel on a proposal to a PHS agency is required to complete this training and also submit a signed Financial Conflict of Interest form to the Sponsored Programs office before a proposal is submitted.
