SpartaLearn is your new platform that centralizes all research training, providing a streamlined and consistent experience for all users.
It serves as your one-stop site for research training, featuring a personal dashboard with live calendar events, transcripts, and notifications for upcoming and required training.
Training is available in the following areas:
- Human Research Protections (formerly CREC)
- Research Security
- Responsible Conduct of Research
- Environmental Health and Safety, Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, and Institutional Biosafety Committee (coming soon)
To prepare for SpartaLearn’s launch, users who complete training through the CITI Program must link their existing accounts using Single Sign-On (SSO) with institutional credentials.
Learn how to link your account and ensure your training records transfer correctly.
Human Research Protections
With the launch of SpartaLearn, the Continuing Research Education Credit (CREC) Program will transition to the Human Research Protections (HRP), introducing a competency-based education model. This new approach replaces the former 12-credit system and focuses on four key competencies to be completed every three years:
- Regulatory Overview
- Vulnerable Populations
- Non-Compliance
- Trending in Research
All credits and research training, including CITI records, will be completed and tracked in SpartaLearn as migration continues.
More updates and guidance will be shared as SpartaLearn launches.
