• How do I check the training status of my research team in Click?

• Why doesn't my training show up in the Click system?

  Depending on when you completed IRB training, it might take several days for training to display in Click, after training is recorded as complete in the Training system (https://orrs.msu.edu/training)

  If you completed the CITI human research protection training, completion of that training must also be transferred from CITI to the Training system.

  Email ORRS.train@msu.edu if you find a discrepancy in your training records.

• What documentation do I need?

  You do not need to submit paper or email documentation of training to the IRB office as part of the IRB submission if you have completed the CITI IRB training. Training records are imported into Click, although this may take several days. 

  To request acceptance of alternative IRB training instead of CITI training, please submit a request along with documentation of previous training to: irb@msu.edu
