Training records from CITI are uploaded to the IRB portal at regular intervals. Depending on when training record is updated, there may be a delay of one day in updating the completion status from CITI to the IRB portal. Carefully review the Study Team Members CITI Training Records page for all investigators before submitting a request. If the page shows “There are no items to display” or shows an Expiration Date less than 30 days in the future, but the investigator is sure that the training/refresher course is complete and current, there are two possible causes: 1) the investigator did not associate his/her CITI records with his/her UGA ID, or 2) the training or refresher training was just completed and therefore was not part of the previous night’s system update.
If the former is true, the investigator should login to CITI via the UGA CITI Login Portal to associate his/her CITI training record with his/her UGAID.
If the latter is true, wait a few hours and try to submit the study again.
