As part of the pre-matriculation requirements, I must take the online course “Biomedical Responsible Conduct of Research Course 1” on the CITI Training platform. However, on the CITI course page, I see options for “Responsible Conduct of Research” and “Biomedical Research Investigators and Key Personnel”. I would like to clarify if these two courses are the same with different wording or if they are entirely different courses. Could you please advise me on which course I should select to fulfill the requirement?

 These are indeed two separate courses.  When you register, you will be asked a series of questions as you are setting up your account.

Respond “Yes” to Question 2 (Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR)). You can answer “No” or “Not at this time” to all other questions.

The “yes” on Q2 should open the modules needed to locate Biomedical Responsible Conduct of Research Course 1.
