Conducting Research with Protected Health Information

Don't forget to take CITI Health Information and Privacy and Security (HIPS) Training for Investigators if you use protected heath information (PHI) in your research.
Link your training to your IRBNet submissions (new, continuing reviews, amendments) that involve collection or use of PHI. By Dec. 31, all users working with PHI for research are expected to have CITI HIPS training. This training requirement only applies to a small percentage of IRB submissions. Click

FAU has added a new course to the wide-array it offers through the CITI training portal.. The Clinical Research Coordinator course on the

To take the course, follow these steps:
- Log in CITI
- Go to the main menu
