CITI Training Modules
Responsible Conduct of Research
The CITI RCR module provides 4 years certification. In some circumstances, students and post-doctoral researchers may present documentary evidence (e.g., certificate of completion or copy of an undergraduate or graduate transcript showing successful completion of an RCR course within the last 4 years), for review and approval by the relevant office to demonstrate satisfactory RCR training in fulfillment of the University requirement.
Research Misconduct
The CITI Research Misconduct module provides researchers on awards 3 years of certification.
Export Controls
The CITI Export Control module provides researchers on awards with 3 years of export control related training.
NSF Mentorship Training
The Mentoring Journey: From Mentee to Mentor, Fostering the Next Generation
In order to satisfy the NSF RCR Mentorship requirement, a recording of the October 2025 Mentorship Panel is available: NU-RES RCR Training Course: Mentorship (2025 Version)
Description:
Effective mentorship is fundamental to fostering the next generation of scholars and researchers. You may already be filling the role of mentor and not even know it! Throughout many professional careers, most people find themselves as lifelong mentors and mentees. This recorded panel discussion, hosted by NU-RES Compliance in partnership with the ADVANCE Office, brings together accomplished faculty from across Northeastern’s colleges to share their mentorship journeys and insights. The conversation explores discipline-specific mentoring considerations, common challenges faced when transitioning into mentor roles, and strategies for overcoming early hurdles in mentoring.
This session is particularly valuable for early-career faculty and those newly stepping into mentoring roles, and all faculty and staff are encouraged to view the recording. Whether you’re involved in research supervision, classroom teaching, or both, this panel provides practical insights and inspiration for building meaningful mentoring relationships that support academic and professional growth.
Learning Objectives
- Identify discipline-specific mentoring approaches and adapt strategies from other fields to enhance their own mentoring practices.
- Recognize common challenges in the transition from mentee to mentor and apply strategies shared by experienced faculty to navigate these hurdles.
- Develop frameworks for establishing effective mentoring relationships with students at various academic levels and career stages.
- Implement best practices for addressing difficult mentoring situations, including managing expectations, providing constructive feedback, and supporting struggling mentees.
Research Security and Other Support Module
NU-RES Research Training Course 1: Foundations of Research Security
National Security Presidential Memorandum-33 (NSPM-33), issued by the White House on January 14, 2021, aims to protect U.S. Government-supported Research and Development (R&D) from foreign interference and exploitation. It mandates comprehensive research security programs for covered institutions addressing four key areas: cybersecurity, foreign travel security, research security training (RST), and export control training. To meet the RST requirements, as detailed in the CHIPS & Science Act of 2022, the NSF, DOE, NIH, and DoD funded four RST modules. The SECURE Center has condensed these modules into one shorter module to meet the RST requirements of federal funding agencies. The full individual modules are also available through Northeastern University’s Research Security Training Program and the NSF.
This training also satisfies the NIH – Other Support Training requirement related to NIH NOT-OD-25-133.
