CITI Training Records and iRIS


Completed NIH CITI Training Records are transferred to iRIS every 6 hours. Wait at least 6-12 hours after course completion before checking them in iRIS and reporting any issues.

How to check your CITI training records in iRIS:

  • Log into iRIS - https://irb.nih.gov 
  • Move the mouse cursor over My Profile and select My Account on the upper right corner of the iRIS window.
  • Then click on Training History on the left side.
  • CITI Training Records associated with your iRIS account will be listed.

Prerequisites:

Check and update your CITI profile before starting enrolling/taking any new CITI training course and verify that:

  • User's affiliation on CITI Profile must be NIH.
  • User's CITI profile primary email address  must be the same as user's NIH AD email  that appears on the user's NED profile ( https//ned.nih.gov ) .
    • Make sure you have logged into iRIS at least once so that your iRIS email address gets updated with the NIH AD email from NED.
  • Only CITI NIH Training Courses or NIH affiliated users are transferred to iRIS.

Processing:

  • Once a CITI training course is complete, it will be transferred into iRIS in the next 6 - 12 hours.
  • If the training record's email address matches the user's iRIS account email address (same as the NIH AD email mentioned above), then it is associated with the user in iRIS.
  • If there is no email match, then the training record is not associated with an iRIS account. This will probably be the case when the CITI profile had a different email address than the NIH AD email. iRIS might have received older training records with old email addresses. Once a new training course is completed, all training records should come with the CITI Profile primary email address. Make sure to update your CITI profile before taking any new course.

Reporting issues:

  • Check your CITI Profile and Training Records in iRIS before reporting any issues to the iRIS ticketing system ( https://iris.helpdesk.nih.gov - requires connection to NIH network or using NIH VPN ).
  • Attached the certificate or include the Record ID that appears on the certificate to the request.
  • Also provided any other significant information such as: possible different name between iRIS and CITI profile, study/submission which training record is not being reflected.
